Valley of Dry Bones Priscilla Royal

Praise for Valley of Dry Bones... "Accurate both to its 13th-century period and to the unchanging nature of the human soul." -Publishers Weekly In the late summer of 1274, King Edward has finally been anointed England"s ruler. His queen contemplates a pilgrimage in gratitude for their safe return from Outremer, a journey that will include a stay at Tyndal Priory. Envoys are sent to confirm that everything will be suitable for the king"s wife, and Prioress Eleanor nervously awaits them, knowing that regal visits bring expense along with honor. The cost is higher than anticipated, however, when Death arrives as the unexpected emissary. One of the courtiers is murdered near the hut where Brother Thomas now lives as a hermit. Each member of the party has reason to hate the dead man, including Crowner Ralf"s eldest brother, Sir Fulke; and the prioress"s nemesis, the man in black. Soon Eleanor is embroiled in the dangerous world of power games, both secular and religious. Indeed, England"s future under a new king may offer hope and relief, but skeletons from the past can come back to life....
