Baron Herbert's return from crusade should have been a joyous occasion. Instead, he grows increasingly morose, withdraws from his family, and refuses to share his wife's bed. When his sons begin to die in strange accidents, some ask whether Herbert harbors a dark sin for which God has cursed him. Then the baron suddenly sends for Sir Hugh of Wynethorpe, begging him to bring spiritual and secular healers. Worried about Herbert's descent into melancholy, Sir Hugh persuades Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal Priory to accompany him as well as a respected physician, Master Gamel, and the Prioress' healer, Sister Anne. Tensions spark and it is not long before Ecclesiastes' grim words seem all too apt: there is a season for everything under heaven, including a time to kill.... Priscilla Royal has a degree in world literature from San Francisco State University. A Killing Season is the eighth book in her medieval mystery series. www.priscillaroyal.com
