Description
For more than a century, two rival organisations of women have gone to deadly lengths to secure a precious scrap of fraying embroidery, hoping it will lead them to the original medieval manuscript from which it was torn. The Order of St Katherine believes women must pull strings from the shadows to exercise covert control, while the Fellowship of the Larks seeks to secure as many visible positions of power for women as possible without revealing its methods. When pioneering palaeographer Dr Anya Brown is recruited by the exclusive Institute of Manuscript Studies at St Andrews, she does not realise that she is in grave danger. Her new employers are the Larks, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their mission. Drawn deeper into an ancient web, Anya must decipher messages hidden for centuries to uncover the truth and escape with her life. This tense race against time moves from the cloisters of Oxford, Cambridge and St Andrews to the medieval Italian city of Verona.
