In 1928, a series of mediaeval stained glass windows from the German abbey of Steinfeld were auctioned at Sotheby’s for the modern equivalent of £900,000.
A similarly fabulous series of windows plundered from the sister abbey of All Saints still exist, hidden at a remote location in the German Eifel. According to legend, the glass is haunted by the demon Bonschariant, who brings death in its most terrifying form to those who possess it.
18 year old Lin Fox has been unwillingly relocated to the Eifel by her father, Dr. Oliver Fox, who is determined to find the lost glass in an attempt to rebuild his failing career and finances. As his search begins, a series of horrific deaths plagues the town. Someone is stalking anyone who comes too close to the hidden glass, and no-one is safe – not even the most innocent. Can it be that the tale of Bonschariant is more than a legend?
Embroiled in her own worries, Lin is not interested in the legend of the All Saints glass until she meets a local boy who claims to know its location. Lin must now decide whether to share her discovery with her feckless father and risk the consequences for the whole family – or to go to the place where the glass is hidden and confront the truth of “Bonschariant”.
Like her debut title, Helen Grant’s astonishing tale beautifully captures the innocence and intrigue of childhood, only to taint it with the grown-up realism of death.
