About the book

When a young nun, Joanna Calverley, dies of a fever in the town of Beverley, she is buried quickly for fear of the plague. But nine months later a woman appears claiming to be the dead nun, saying she faked her own death. Owen Archer sets out to investigate this mysterious disappearance.

About the Author

Candace Robb

Candace Robb is a writer/historian engaged in creating fiction about the late middle ages with a large cast of characters.


Two series, the Owen Archer mysteries and the Kate Clifford mysteries, are set in late medieval York.


The Margaret Kerr trilogy is set in early 14th century Scotland, at the beginning of the Wars of Independence.


Two standalone novels (published under pseudonym Emma Campion) expand on the lives of two women in the court of King Edward III who have fascinated Robb ever since she first encountered them in history and fiction.
