description: On account of her miraculous powers of healing Sister Ingrid has the reputation of a living saint. As the infirmarian at Greyleigh convent she is uncomfortable with her frame and doubtful of her sanctity; but the rigours of convent life place obedience before reason - until her faith is challenged by the arrival of a rather unusual patient.Dressed in the outrageous motley of a troubadour Jacques Brigand des Coeurs is thrown from his horse within hobbling distance of the convent gates. A broken ankle confines him to the Infirmary for six weeks - time enough for sweet-talking its serene and beautiful custodian into a seduction that astonishes them both.Fleeing the convent in an agony of remorse Ingrid shelters in the bustling anonymity of Oxford. But it is not long before she is compelled to call once more upon the remedial power of her faith. And in medieval England the heretical working of miracles has only one explanation: witchcraft.
