Buy the book from:
Cicely Foterell’s inheritance and marriage are threatened by a powerful abbot who uses ecclesiastical authority to control property and punish resistance. Her struggle unfolds as Henry VIII’s government moves against the monasteries, turning a local dispute into part of a national religious and political transformation.
Haggard combines romance, legal conflict and siege-like confrontation with the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The novel shows how royal policy, monastic wealth and the ambitions of Thomas Cromwell’s administration could reshape provincial households and institutions.
