Description
WHEN A FEUD BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS DRAGS THE LAND INTO WAR... In the spring of 1144, a temporary peace reigns in England, but the fragile truce between Empress Matilda and King Stephen offers little hope for lasting peace. Brother Cadfael considers even this brief respite from the protracted war a blessing. However, as a former soldier, he never turns down a bit of excitement, and when the opportunity arises to accompany Brother Mark on a diplomatic mission to his native Wales, he gladly accepts. Neither monk, however, is aware that Wales is torn by a bloody family feud. Prince Owain has recently repudiated his brother Cadwaladr, whom he accuses of treacherous murder, after which reckless Cadwaladr, in a fit of rage, has hired an army of Danish mercenaries to invade Wales. Cadfael finds himself in Danish captivity and right in the heart of a looming civil war. He faces a daunting task: to reconcile the rift between the brothers before it plunges the entire country into chaos.
