Description
A Death of Innocence by David Penny is set in 1453 against the backdrop of the English Marches. When thirteen-year-old Thomas Berrington is attacked, he believes it's just another beating - but things take a deadly turn when one of his attackers is found dead. Accused of murder, Thomas must fight to clear his name and uncover the truth behind the crime. As Thomas navigates this treacherous situation, he finds himself drawn to Bel Brickenden, a girl his father would disapprove of. Together, they unravel a web of deceit and lies that reveals the sad truth behind the murder. But there's another kind of death at work in Lemster - one that cannot be solved by reason alone. This is the first book in a trilogy, exploring how Thomas Berrington leaves England to begin his travels to Moorish al-Andalus.
