In the fifteenth century Europe, freedoms were not as
liberal as in many countries today.
Heresy was high on England’s King’s list to be done away with.
Do not believe what the King considers wrong, do not write
the Bible in any language other than Latin, and do not counter the word of the
Church.
Anna Bookman writes in multiple languages and can’t ignore
what the English translation of the Bible tells her. Her manuscripts will hang her if found
out. She lives in Prague with her
grandfather until he dies, and then she is directed to find help in England. 
At the same time, a priest, Brother Gabriel, encounters her
under a tip of heresy. He disguises his
identity and against church rules, has incredibly lustful feelings for the
maiden.
Both hidden behind false agendas, their paths take many wrong
turns. Danger and enemies multiply for
each until they are forced together and their true works and goals revealed.
The historical detail of the fifteenth century and the range
of characters give a heart-pounding and fearsome reality to the challenges Anna
and Gabriel must overcome in order to be true to themselves and their love for each other.
Happy reading,
Dawn
