Description

In 1145, a mysterious death at Evesham Abbey sets off a chain of events that exposes the dark undercurrents of medieval life. A steward found dead in a well pit, tensions between the abbey and local castle guard are running high.

The investigation into Walter's death is led by Undersheriff Hugh Bradecote, Serjeant Catchpoll and Underserjeant Walkelin, who must navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries that define this tumultuous period. As they dig deeper, they uncover a litany of lies that threaten to destroy what little stability remains.

With another killing looming, the investigation is pushed down a treacherous path, forcing Bradecote and his team to confront the harsh realities of life in medieval England.
