Beatrice of old York

Beatrice lives in the shadow of York's ancient stones, where the city walls hold secrets older than memory and the River Ouse flows past centuries of whispered scandal. As a young woman of sharp wit and sharper tongue, she refuses the safe paths laid before her, instead chasing mysteries that the respectable citizens of old York would rather leave buried. When a family secret surfaces threatens to shatter her world, Beatrice must choose between the comfortable lies of her station and the dangerous truth that could set her free. E.A. Taylor weaves the cobblestone streets of York into a character as vivid as any protagonist, rendering medieval guilds, cathedral shadows, and the tight-lipped gossip of the medieval English town with loving precision. This is a story for readers who want to lose themselves in another time, another place, and root for a heroine who refuses to be quiet.
