On her grandmother’s death, weaver Serena inherits four beautiful, stunning pages from a rare, illuminated manuscript, The Book of the Learned. Her grandmother has written very cryptic instructions about this book, as though Serena will know or learn how to find the rest of it. Her heritage. The book whose jewel like pages she’s dreamt about for years. The reclusive Erik, an expert on ancient manuscripts and master manuscript copier, gets caught up with Serena as they struggle to outwit the murderers dogging their heels with the threat of fiery death and deadly intent, and solve the mysteries surrounding this precious manuscript.
Elizabeth Lowell writes her magic with sensual, beautiful love scenes, and balances this with gripping, dark suspense. The first in a new series about precious manuscripts, this has whet our appetite for more.
