Damask Farland is the daughter of a well-to-do lawyer raised in the time of King Henry VIII. Damask's father's considerable lands adjoin the Abbey of St. Bruno. Nine months before her birth, the monks of St. Bruno's discover a baby boy lying in the crib on Christmas morning. The monks raise the boy to manhood; handsome and saintly, but also brooding and ominous, tortured by the secret of his origin which looms ever more menacingly over the abbey which he slowly comes to dominate.
Damask's and Bruno's lives are inextricably bound together, even as Damask tries to understand Bruno's strange hold over her destiny. What happens to the Farland family takes place against the backdrop of King Henry VIII's court with all the attendant intrigue that that entails. I really enjoyed this book and give it an A+!
A+! - (96-100%)
