Description
Nine hundred years ago in medieval Germany, Hildegard of Bingen was born with a gift-the remarkable ability to see beyond this
earthly realm. But a gift can also be a great burden, especially when Hildegard's
vision helps her witness the vicious
murder of a monk on
the hallowed grounds of the monastery at Disibodenberg.
When the peace of the
monastery is shattered by a second gruesome murder, Hildegard
seeks the help of Volmar, her trusted
scribe. Volmar discovers a treacherous plot
to seize the Spear of Destiny-a holy relic rumored to bear a curse that haunts
anyone who tries to wield its power for their own purposes.
Within hours of the
murders, Volmar and Hildegard
are cast into a web of violence and intrigue spawned by the greed of
power-hungry nobelmen, deceitful clerics, and the ambitions of a secret society
sworn to protect the warriors of the
Crusades...
Book One of The Seer and the Scribe series begins where
recorded history is silent, introducing you to the extraordinary lives of young Hildegard
and Volmar, as they challenge the darkness of this fearful time
Advance Praise
"Move over Brother Cadfael-there's a new sleuth in town, younger and just as smart. Throw in a medieval mystic who sees visions and talks to dead people, a couple of murders, a villain worthy of Darth Vader, lots of well-placed sensory details, and interesting secondary characters and The Seer and the Scribe: Spear of Destiny is a perfect book to launch a series."
-Brenda Rickman Vantrease, New York Times bestselling author of The Illuminator and The Heretic's Wife
"Dyrek draws readers into the world of medieval monastic life with a keen knowledge of the era and an eye for compelling characters. Opening the book will feel like stepping back into a long ago world of mystery, murder, and faith."
-A. LaFaye, Scott O'Dell Award-winning author of Worth
