Summary

Dublin, 1918. Rosaleen The Rose. A seer and a healer. Revered within the Mesmerist circles, she was acclaimed for her gifts of prophecy and healing amongst Dublin's fashionable society. But the shocking realisation of her last extraordinary prophecy will see her famed throughout the city. One summer night at Mount St Kilian Abbey, Brother Thomas watches a candlelit procession of pilgrims, come to walk the Way of the Rose on the anniversary of their idol's death. Now a shrine, the bell tower has seen tragedy - one that others would only whisper of. Then, a padre arrives at the Abbey and reveals the deathbed confession that Rosaleen Grace made to him three years before. The tragedy of what occurred at the bell tower is well known, but this reveals an even greater horror - a heinous crime to which St. Kilian's once-beloved Abbot, now imprisoned, has confessed. But the Rose has a different tale to tell. Never to be spoken of. Never to be revealed. What lies beneath the Rose.
