Sacred Music

By Felicity Luckman

A clandestine love affair fraught with danger in the 17th century

Young Baron Francis Trenoweth is an impulsive student at Oxford. Keen to show his Protestant colours, Francis takes part in a pope-burning procession – this is England in 1680, when rumours of a ‘Popish Plot’ to kill the king are circulating widely.

But when Francis is introduced by his cousin to the Somervilles of Coneybury, he is immediately captivated by 17-year-old Eleanor, not knowing that the Somervilles are in fact Roman Catholics.

Even while knowing the danger, however, he is unable to keep away from Eleanor, and soon he is drawn into a deadly intrigue – and his own life is at stake.

Perfect for fans of Hilary Mantel, Sacred Music is a thrilling tale of romance and religious rivalry set against the dangerous politics of 17th century England.
