About This Book

A young woman returns to a patron's castle during a storm and becomes entangled in the arrest of a visiting theologian accused of heresy. Court gossip and a spiteful noble press for the prisoner to be turned over to severe ecclesiastical authorities, while the protagonist is tormented by guilt for choices that may imperil those who sheltered him. The narrative alternates tense household drama and public spectacle with the heroine's inward reckoning about jealousy, ingratitude, and moral culpability, exploring the collision of private emotions and coercive religious power.
