A nun's secret could save an abbey, or destroy it.

Spain, 1526. Sister Ernestine flees to the sanctuary of a remote Spanish abbey, seeking atonement for a past she desperately wants to forget. But the Alhambra's red walls offer little solace when a dangerous man from her past tracks her down, determined to steal the priceless secret she carries: Albrecht Dürer's plans for a machine that could conquer the skies.

Trapped in a land gripped by the Inquisition's terror, Ernestine finds herself drawn into the abbey's own struggle for survival. A power-hungry priest, obsessed with purging the Alhambra of its Moorish past, sets his sights on the abbey's destruction. Can Ernestine use her cunning and her gift for numbers to save the nuns and escape her pursuers?

With the emotional depth of The Remains of the Day and the moral complexities of Atonement, Ernestine is a captivating tale of faith, secrets, and the courage to face the consequences of our choices.
