I have just submitted Wine of Violence, by Priscilla Royal. This book should
not have an adult rating, so if you could, please remove it. Enjoy!
It is late summer in the year 1270 and England is as weary as its aging king,
Henry III. Although the Simon de Montfort rebellion is over, the smell of death
still hangs like smoke over the land. Even in the small priory of Tyndal on the
remote East Anglian coast, the monks and nuns of the Order of Fontevraud long
for a return to tranquil routine. Their hopes are dashed, however, when the
young and inexperienced Eleanor of Wynethorpe is appointed their new prioress
over someone of their own choosing. Nor are Eleanor's own prayers for a
peaceful transition answered. Only a day after her arrival, a brutally murdered
monk is found in the cloister gardens, and Brother Thomas, a young priest with
a troubled past, arrives to bring her a more personal grief. Now she must not
only struggle to gain the respect of her terrified and resentful flock but also
cope with violence, lust and greed in a place dedicated to love and peace.

I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have
consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give
you this warning that you may prepare your mind for your fate.
