Vera Chapman

4.9/5 (22986 ratings)

Description:Twelve adventures featuring a 12th century nun with magical powers at the time of the Crusades. In one, a mermaid asks her for a soul, in another she meets the devil, in a third she arouses the jealousy of a Muslim wife.Abbess Hodierna is neither an invincible sorceress nor a princess in disguise. She is clever and compassionate with an independent spirit, sensible though easily led astray by an insatiable curiosity. While leading an order of nuns devoted to maintaining neighborly felicity, she is also unapologetic about her feminist leanings, a woman ahead of her time, but not trapped by it. In every story, the Abbess is drawn into personal disputes, political entanglements and even spiritual battles. Amidst a swirl of kings and queens, Templars and Saracens, monks and nuns, spirits good and evil, the Abbess remains a calm, unshakeable presence. Whether shrewdly plotting a coup de main or matching wits with the Devil himself, she never fails to enchant the reader with her droll unconventionality and indomitable spirit.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
