What secrets lie hidden in the Medieval college of Kineton and Dacre…?
Salster, England, 1385
Master mason Simon of Kineton is building his magnum opus: a great college to rival any in England.
But the Bishop of Salster, hostile to free education, is determined to sabotage Simon’s project.
When rumours spread that the mason's son is cursed, the bishop sees an opportunity to undermine both Simon and the college.
And everything Simon has worked so hard for could end up crumbling down around him…
Salster, 2019
Damia Miller has been employed to promote penniless Kineton and Dacre college.
Delving into the college’s history, she becomes captivated by the vast grotesque painting that has recently been uncovered during renovations.
It soon becomes clear to Damia that the painting holds the key to the past – a past which could reveal exactly what she’s been searching for…
Alis Hawkins grew up on a dairy farm in Cardiganshire. Her inner introvert thought it would be a good idea to become a shepherd and, frankly, if she had, she might have been published sooner. As it was, three years reading English at Corpus Christi College, Oxford revealed an extrovert streak and a social conscience which saw her train as a Speech and Language Therapist. She has spent the subsequent three decades variously bringing up two sons, working with children and young people on the autism spectrum and writing fiction, non-fiction and plays. She writes the kind of books she likes to read: character-driven historical crime and mystery fiction with what might be called literary production values.
