[Read by Roe Kendall] In the year of our Lord 1141, civil war over Englands 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 knights killer. Brother Cadfaels 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 razors edge between death or the absolution of love. Review Some of the most elegant, unstilted prose being written in mystery novels . . .
