![]() Behind the walls of this sanctuary, women have gathered from all walks of life: a skilled physician, a towering former prostitute, a cook, a local convert. Called a beguinage, it is a safe harbor of service and faith in defiance of the all-powerful Church. But another force is touching Ulewic - a newly formed community built and served only by women. For shadowing the villagers' lives are men cloaked in masks and secrecy, ruling with violence, intimidation, and terrifying fiery rites: the Owl Masters. ![]() The tiny village of Ulewic teeters between survival and destruction, faith and doubt, God and demons. From the author of Company of Liars, hailed as 'a jewel of a medieval mystery' * and 'an atmospheric tale of treachery and magic,' ** comes a magnificent new novel of an embattled village and a group of courageous women who are set on a collision course - in an unforgettable storm of secrets, lust, and rage. ![]()
