    About this ebook

    Hildegard of Bingen, a young, 12th-century German girl, has been born with a gift: a remarkable ability to see beyond this earthly realm. Her gift, however, can also prove a burden, especially when her vision helps her witness the vicious murder of a monk on the grounds of the monastery at Disibodenberg. When the monastery’s peace is further shattered by a second grisly murder, Hildegard seeks the help of Volmar, her trusted scribe. Volmar uncovers a treacherous plot to seize the Spear of Destiny—a holy relic rumored to bear a curse that haunts anyone who tries to wield its power for his own purposes. It isn’t long before Hildegard and Volmar are cast into a web of violence and intrigue spawned by the greed of power-hungry noblemen, deceitful clerics, and the ambitions of a secret society sworn to protect the warriors of the Crusades.

      Excellent start to a promising new series. Well researched tale, about an enigmatic, prolific author and composer, Hildegard of Bingan, in 12th century Germany, which is nicely crafted into a medieval mystery. Although classified as a Young Adult book and it is a good one, it is worth the trip into that part of the library for all readers of medieval mysteries. Hildegard's music has sustained through the centuries and is well worth listening to if you enjoy things medieval.
