Wine of Violence by Priscilla Royal
With a Foreword by Sharon Kay Penman.
It's summer 1270, and England is as weary as its aging king, Henry III. The Simon de Montfort rebellion is over, and in the small priory of Tyndall on the remote East Anglian coast, the monks and nuns of the Order of Fontevraud long to return to their tranquil routine. But then the young, inexperienced Eleanor of Wynethorpe is appointed their new prioress. It's a political move and not popular.
The day after she takes up her office, a brutally murdered monk is found in the cloister gardens. Then Brother Thomas arrives. Sent to investigate the Order's shaky finances, the young priest is also paying the price for a crime that could see him burn. As Thomas battles to accept his new life, Eleanor, struggling to gain the respect of her terrified and resentful flock, must cope with violence, lust, and greed to find a vicious killer.
Tyrant of the Mind and Wine of Violence are two medieval mysteries written by Priscilla Royal. She was born in Seattle and raised in British Columbia before settling in Northern California. She is a member of Sisters in Crime and the California Writers Club. Priscilla Royal's website can be found at http://www.priscillaroyal.com/.
