Title Description
Catherine LeVendeur is a young scholar at the Convent of the Paraclete, a convent famous for learning and prayer...and its most famous abbess, the fabled Heloise. Catherine has taken service there to conquer her sin of pride. But service can come in many forms...a manuscript that the convent produced for the great Abbe Suger has disappeared, and rumors surface that the book contains sacrilegious passages that may harm the convent itself. To save her Order, Catherine will risk much: disgrace, the wrath of family and Church, even the loss of her immortal soul. She must find the manuscript and discover who has altered the text before it destroys all she holds dear.

Sharan Newman is an author and Ph.D. candidate in medieval history who lives in Santa Barbara, California. Her other books include THE DEVIL'S DOOR, THE WANDERING ARM, STRONG AS DEATH and CURSED IN THE BLOOD.

"An extraordinary work of the imagination, not to be missed." (Father Andrew M. Greeley)

I had a bit of trouble getting into the book at first as I was not familiar with this period of history and the litergical references. But I stayed with it and found that I enjoyed it very much. Catherine is a strong and interesting character, and I found myself engrossed with the history and customs of the Middle Ages. I will order the remaining books in this series.
