This richly imagined tale takes readers to a tiny German town
in the time of “the burnings,” when pious and heretic alike became
victims of witch-hunting zealots. When a double murder stirs up
festering fears, the village priest sends for help. But the
charismatic Inquisitor who answers the call brings a deadly mix of
spiritual fervor and self-deceptive evil. Under his influence,
village fear, guilt, and suspicion of women take a deadly turn. In
the midst of this nightmare, a doubting priest and an unloved
wife—a secret friend of the recently martyred William
Tyndale—somehow manage to hear another Voice…and discover the power
of love over fear.
Dinfoil, Germany, 1538. In a little town on the edge of the
Black Forest, a double murder stirs up festering fears. A lonely
woman despairs of pleasing her husband and wonders why other women
shun her. An overworked sheriff struggles to hold the town—and
himself—together. A priest begins to doubt the power of the words
he shares daily with his flock. And the charismatic Inquisitor who
arrives to help—with a filthy witch in a cage as an object
lesson—brings his own mix of lofty ideals and treacherous evil.
Under his influence, ordinary village fears and resentments take a
deadly turn. Terror mounts. Dark deeds come to light. And men and
women alike discover not only what they are capable of, but who
they are…and what it means to grapple for grace.
