As Dame Frevisse and the nuns of St. Frideswide priory prepare for the end of Lent, their peaceful world is turned upside down by the arrival of Sister Cecely, the one-time nun who had fled the nunnery nine years earlier with her lover and who is seeking refuge for herself and her illegitimate son, but her coming has also brought danger, doubt, and possibly murder.
