Cassandra Clark’s childhood within the East Riding of Yorkshire was the inspiration for her medieval mystery series featuring Hildegard of Meaux, a Cistercian nun, spy and sleuth.
The Abbess of Meaux Medieval Mystery Series follows this strong, independent woman living in an oppressive fourteenth century England, exercising a life of power and influence.
The newest book in the series is ‘The Law of Angels’ which vividly recreates the conflicting world of Medieval England, a place where loyalty comes head to head with treason and dangerous superstition.
Explore York Library Learning Centre gives fans an exciting opportunity to meet this new Yorkshire author, ask any questions and gain a real insight into the character of Hildegard and her place within Edwardian England.
