I enjoyed The Monastery and look forward to reading The Abbot. The story is set in the 1550s on the borders of England and Scotland. It is a time of when Elizabeth 1 is on the English throne and her cousin Mary on the Scottish one. The setting is around a monastery based on the Melrose monastery. The battle between the Protestant reformers and the incumbent Catholic clergy is raging.
I liked the story of the two sons Edward and Halbert brought up together with Mary a heiress of a castles that was usurped by her uncle Julien Avenel. The character of the knight Piercie Shafton a comical gallant windbag on the run from England after a failed Catholic plot where he was set up as the patsy.
The supernatural element is interesting and entertaining as well as the poetry the White Lady of Avenel uses in her prophecies. A duel, escape, broken hearts, villainy, a battle and political intrigue make a wonderful yarn.
