The False Virgin (The Medieval Murderers #9)

AD 848.

Beornwyn of Lythe, the young daughter of an ealdorman, spurns marriage and chooses to remain a virgin dedicated to Christ. When she is found murdered in the chapel where she kept her nightly vigils, the butterflies resting on her corpse are seen to be a sign from God that she should receive sainthood.

It is not long before St Beornwyn comes to be regarded as the patron saint of those suffering from disease, and many are drawn on pilgrimage to her shrines. But from a priory in Wales to the Greek island of Sifnos to the final resting place of Beornwyn’s bones in Herefordshire, far from bringing healing to sick pilgrims, it seems that St Beornwyn’s remains leave a trail of misery, maladies and murder in their wake.

So when a famous poet pens a new tale of St Beornwyn, it is no wonder that he questions whether she was as holy as has always been believed . . . and soon, rumours begin to spread from Nottinghamshire that threaten to ruin the reputation of the saint.

Could the saintly deeds attributed to her have been carried out by someone else? What if the virgin was not all she seemed? Will the truth about St Beornwyn ever be discovered, or will her story remain forever wrapped in legend?
