    About this ebook

    A murderer strikes within the walls of a nunnery during the creation of the Bayeux Tapestry in this mystery novel of eleventh-century England.

    England, 1081. Artisan nuns at the Priory of St. Thomas the Apostle are dedicated to weaving a great tapestry depicting the Norman Conquest. But when two of the nuns fall from the Priory tower, their violent and mysterious deaths stir up a spirit of mistrust among the cloistered community. Abbess Eleanor and her young protege, Therese, are sent to investigate.

    As investigations unfold, tensions spark between the Norman Princes and native Britons. In this fraught environment, a series of shocking revelations will have dire repercussions both within and beyond the Priory. In Threads of Treason, author Mary Bale combines historic knowledge and authentic period detail with suspenseful tale of murder, conspiracy and sleuthing.
