Bishop Odon de Bayeux, half-brother to William the Conqueror, has commissioned an embroidery. It is being made in the Priory of St Thomas the Apostle in Kent, England, in King William's honour. There is an attack on one of the panels by a woman posing as a nun. The Prioress catches her and thwarts the attempt. But when she chases her they both fall from the tower of the Priory of St Thomas the Apostle. So Sister Therese is sent with Abbess Eleanor to investigate by Bishop Odon, who is also the Earl of Kent.
