Publisher's summary

England 1321: Deep in the countryside lies an isolated village governed by a sinister regime of Owl Masters. But their dark status quo is disturbed by the arrival of a house of religious women. Why do their crops succeed when village crops fail, their cattle survive despite the plague? Accusations of witchcraft and heresy run rife, while the Owl Masters rain down hellfire and torment on the women, who must look to their faith to save them from the lengthening shadow of evil... a shadow with predatory, terrifying talons.

Loved this book!

Great story with well researched and fascinating historical detail. The narrator was brilliant - I usually find a man reading a woman’s part pretty unconvincing , but David Thorpe read an enormous variety of characters with ease, and really made me picture the scene . Really recommend this book!
