Unnerving, unrelenting, unputdownable. Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, is called out to an apparent suicide on the local college campus. The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues - and the college authorities are keen to avoid a scandal - but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up. Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home. And as Jeffrey pursues the sadistic killer, he discovers that ex-police detective Lena Adams, now a security guard on campus, may be in possession of crucial information. But, bruised and angered by her expulsion from the force, Lena seems to be barely capable of protecting herself, let alone saving the next victim...

Over de rol van vrouwen in de middeleeuwen is weinig bekend. Dit verhaal speelt zich af in Frankrijk, in 1187. Het is het verhaal van jonkvrouw Esclarmonde, die om te ontsnappen aan het huwelijk, besluit zich te wijden aan een leven voor God. De enige weg naar vrijheid die voor een vrouw in haar positie openstond. Maar wat betekent dat precies? Esclarmonde laat zich inmetselen in een cel naast een speciaal voor haar op het terrein van het kasteel gebouwde kapel, en wordt zo tot haar verbazing het middelpunt van een fascinerende middeleeuwse wereld, vol nieuwe ontwikkelingen, zoals de kruistochten. De mensen fluisteren hun geheimen door de tralies van haar venster. En Esclarmonde is niet dood zoals ze dacht, maar blijkt springlevend, en worstelt op een verrassend moderne manier met haar vrouwelijkheid.
