In the year of our Lord 1141 civil war over England’s throne leaves a legacy of violence—and the murder of a knight dear to Brother Cadfael. In the spring a flood of pilgrims comes to the celebration of Saint Winifred at the Abbey carrying with it many strange souls…and perhaps the knight’s killer.
Brother Cadfael’s shrewd eyes see all: the prosperous merchant who rings false; an angelic lame boy and his beautiful dowerless sister; and two wealthy penitents. In the name of justice Cadfael sets out to uncover the strange and twisted tale that accompanies these travelers.
Instead he unearths a quest for vengeance witnesses a miracle and finds himself on a razor’s edge between death or the absolution of love.
