Description
Agnes Peppin's life has been forever changed by her banishment from home. In 1535, she is forced to leave behind the only family she has ever known and take up residence within the walls of Shaftesbury Abbey. As Agnes navigates the complex rules and hierarchies of the sisterhood, she must confront a world in turmoil. The English Reformation is underway, with King Henry VIII proclaiming himself Head of the Church of England. Monasteries are being dissolved, and the great Abbey is no exception to the purge. With her sisters cast out, Agnes finds herself at last free to forge her own path - but freedom comes at a steep price. As she struggles to survive in a world so different from her own, Agnes must use all her wits and test her moral convictions against her need to stay alive.
