A mesmerizing novel of the revolutionary Saint Brigid and the discovery of an astonishing secret historyfrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Woman in the Room and The Other Einstein, writing as Heather Terrell

"Authentically told and fascinating, Brigid of Kildare brims with historical detailhighly enjoyable."Susan Fraser King, author of Lady Macbeth

Fifth-century Ireland: Brigid is Ireland's first and only female priest and bishop. Followers flock to her Kildare abbey and scriptorium. Hearing accounts of Brigid's power, the Church deems her a threat and sends Decius, a Roman priest and scribe, on a secret mission to collect proof of Brigid's heresy.

As Decius records the unorthodox practices of Brigid and her abbey, he becomes intrigued by her. When Brigid assigns Decius a holy taskto create an important and sacred manuscripthe finds himself at odds with his original mission and faces the most difficult decision of his life.

Modern day: Alexandra Patterson, an appraiser of medieval relics, has been summoned to Kildare to examine a reliquary box believed to belong to Saint Brigid. Hidden within the sacred box is the most beautiful illuminated manuscript Alex has ever seen. But even more extraordinary are the contents of the manuscript's vellum pages, which may have dire repercussions for the Catholic Church and could very well rewrite the origins of Christianity.
