A letter from the grave. An immortal sister long thought dead. A secret five hundred years in the making.
After five centuries of wandering, Sister Jacobine—known to some as Alice Fisher—returns to the crumbling ruins of the Amesbury Priory, where her extraordinary healing gift first changed her life forever.
A letter, written in a trembling hand and signed with a name no living soul should remember, summons the immortal nun home. But what awaits among the ancient graves and ruined walls is more than memory and regret. Buried beneath the Priory's stones lies a centuries-old mystery, and an ancient secret that was never meant to survive the ages.
When her homecoming turns deadly, Alice discovers that one of her sisters has endured the centuries alongside her. Twisted by envy, consumed by obsession, and clinging to life far beyond its natural span, the woman will stop at nothing to claim the gift she believes should have been hers.
Now Sister Jacobine must confront the darkest chapter of her past in a supernatural thriller that stretches from the ruins of Amesbury Priory to the shadowed stones of Stonehenge itself.
Immortality is a gift that never stops taking... and some debts refuse to die.

Praise for the A Nun With A Gun Series
There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Nun and yet a lot is shared in this short novella but there's so much more I want to know....into the next book in the series I go!
