About this ebook

It is 1535, and in the tumultuous years of King Henry VIII’s break from Rome, the religious houses of England are being seized by force. Twenty-year-old Catherine Havens is a foundling and the adopted daughter of the prioress of the Priory of Mount Grace in a small Yorkshire village. Catherine, like her adoptive mother, has a gift for healing, and she is widely sought and admired for her knowledge. However, the king's divorce dashes Catherine’s hopes for a place at court, and she reluctantly takes the veil. When the priory’s costly altarpiece goes missing, Catherine and her friend Ann Smith find themselves under increased suspicion. King Henry VIII’s soldiers have not had their fill of destruction, and when they return to Mount Grace to destroy the priory, Catherine must choose between the sacred calling of her past and the man who may represent her country’s future.

Author

Sarah Kennedy

Secretly wishing for her own wings to fly, the author of the award-winning Prophecy of Hope Saga, Sarah Kennedy, instead spills her heart upon the page. Writing stories for nearly as long as she can remember, each word is a beat of her heart. She has taken courses with the Institute of Children’s Literature and Long Ridge Writers Group (now known as the Institute for Writers). She lives firmly planted to earth in a small town in Pennsylvania with her family, including a fabulous clowder of cats, while giving wings to the imaginary friends in her head. So let the dragons fly and let the saga continue!
