Description
A King's Sanctuary by Hilary Wellington In 17th century England, the line between holy vocation and witchcraft was often blurred. For Dame Sarah Kinver, a herbalist with a sacred calling to serve God through caring for others, this tension would be put to the ultimate test when she took in a wounded Prince. As she nursed the future King Charles II back to health at White Ladies Manor, Sarah found herself torn between her duty to care for him and the danger that his presence posed. With Parliamentarian forces closing in, Sarah's healing practice became a desperate bid to save not just Charles' life, but also his freedom from execution. As the stakes grew higher, Sarah's own vows of celibacy were put to the ultimate challenge by the charms of this traumatised Prince in need of tender loving care.
