One man has been kidnapped. Another has been murdered.

In the bleakest depths of winter, Frevisse finds her soul chilled with the heavy burdens of duty and responsibility. Even the warmth of charity is in short supply as the villagers of Prior Byfield turn against each in bloody feuds of greed and rage, weaving knots of treachery which even the clever Frevisse may find hard to unwind.

Award-winning author Margaret Frazer gathers shadows around the hearth to tell a tale of frigid winter and icy passion. Join Frevisse in her fervent prayers for a true peace of mind and body as she pits all her forceful will against the most cunning of evils. Fear for the lives which may be destroyed in unlocking the secrets of the winter heart...

PRAISE FOR THE SISTER FREVISSE SERIES

“This is a perfect mystery: It’s flawless.” – Drood Review of Mystery

“Frazer’s grasp of the society and tangled politics in England in the mid-1400s is masterful.” – Firsts, the Book Collector’s Magazine

“Keeps readers turning the pages.” – Marina Oliver, Historical Novels Review

“Frazer’s quiet yet intense medieval mysteries are so vividly and gracefully written you just float back in time…” – BookNews from The Poisoned Pen

"Whether good or evil, her characters are vibrant and compelling. While we might like to believe that the prejudices of that era have passed into history, we are reminded that we are not so very different after all.” – Lorraine Gelly, Romantic Times Book Club

Review by: Jo Andrews on Sep. 07, 2011 :
A welcome and delightful addition to the Dame Frevisse saga, not only showing how things develop now that she is the Domina of the abbey, but providing a fascinating mystery as well. Full of Margaret Frazer's evocative depictions of the medieval world and her masterful handling of interesting characters and events. I loved it.
