Mere

Norfolk, AD 990. Deep in the Fens, an order of holy sisters lives in quiet isolation, cut off from the outside world by a treacherous marsh known as the mere. Convent healer Hilda and her fellow nuns follow God’s path under the steely guidance of their abbess.

But when a young servant boy goes missing in the marsh, rumour and division spread like wildfire through the community and the abbess's grip falters. Where is the boy ? Who took him ? Why can he not be found ?

Then, newly arrived Sister Wulfrun has a vision : a curse is upon them and change must be brought. As the convent is swept up in a fight for its very survival, Hilda finds herself caught in her own battle between her conscience and her growing feelings for the enigmatic Wulfrun.
