  • "Cadfael suspects that the motives of the young man who wants to join Shrewsbury Abbey as a novice are not entirely selfless. A senior cleric sent to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a colleague forms the same impression. Suspicions increase when the half-burnt body of the cleric is found and a wild man from the woods is falsely accused. Cadfael's investigations reveal untruths and a tortured family history."

Only Brother Cadfael believes in Meriet's innocence, and only the good sleuth can uncover the truth before a boy's pure passion, not evil intent, leads a novice to the noose."
