This is the 7th book in the Sister Frevisse Medieval Mystery series.

Who could ever want to harm two young boys, ages five and six? When the boys are half brothers to Henry VI, King of England, the list is long and distinguished. A lady in their mother's household flees with the boys to St. Frideswide's and asks Sister Frevisse to offer them sanctuary. Inable to refuse children, she takes them in and conceals them. But as attempts are made on the boys' lives inside St. Frideswide's walls, Sister Frevisse realizes that from the ambitious and the wicked, there is no sanctuary...

In the tradition of Ellis Peters's Brother Cadfael novels, Sister Frevisse is sinfully good at discerning the mysteries of the soul...and solving the crimes of the human heart.
