Sacred Lies

SACRED LIES

Hildegard of Bingen investigates.

Mainz is a city of prayers, profits—and missing things.

When a string of thefts begins to gnaw at the market stalls and merchant chests, the Church wants quiet, the townsfolk want blood, and nobody wants questions. Unfortunately for everyone, Sister Hildegard asks nothing else.

Hildegard of Bingen is not the kind of nun who folds her hands and looks away. Sharp-tongued, stubborn, and far too curious for her own safety, she follows the stolen trail into taverns, back rooms, and the polite homes of people who smile as if God is always listening.

Then a body turns up.

Suddenly the thefts are no longer a nuisance—they’re a curtain. Someone has used holy order, convenient superstition, and public shame to hide a very human crime. And if Hildegard pulls on the wrong thread, she won’t just expose a murderer. She’ll expose a city built on sacred lies.

Darkly funny, slyly irreverent, and full of suspicious saints, sinners, and self-important men of God, Sacred Lies is a medieval mystery where the truth is dangerous—and forgiveness is negotiable.
