'€œRobb continues to adeptly blend politics with period detail and three-dimensioned characterizations in the Owen Archer tales.'€ '€”PUBLISHERS WEEKLY From the marshy Thames to the misty Yorkshire moors, murder stalks Welsh soldier-sleuth Owen Archer and one of his oldest friends. On a snowy morning in 1367, Sir William of Wyndesore'€™s page is found in the icy moat of Windsor Castle, and some whisper that the murderer was Ned Townley'€”a former comrade-in-arms of Owen Archer. Burdened with a reputation as a notoriously jealous lover, Ned cannot hope to clear his name; even Mary, his ladylove, is unsure of the truth. Hoping to put Ned out of harm'€™s way while solving the murder, Owen places his friend in charge of a mission to Rievaulx Abbey at the edge of the moors. But when the travelers receive news of Mary'€™s drowning, Ned vanishes into the wild. Riding out in search of his old friend, Owen does not know whether he will be Ned'€™s savior or executioner. With his one good eye, Owen sees more than most, but now he must find a way to penetrate the curtains of power that surround the Church and England'€™s royal court and discover the truth of Ned'€™s innocence or guilt...
