Description
Summer 1312. The brutal murder of King Edward II's favourite, Peter Gaveston, unleashes a horde of demons. Sir Hugh Corbett, Keeper of the Secret Seal, hastens to the Dominican Priory at Blackfriars where Gaveston's corpse awaits burial. However, upon arrival, Corbett discovers that a series of macabre murders has turned the priory into a mansion of death, and a killer is roaming free. Rumours spread that the pirate ships of the Black Banner Fleet are intent on entering the River Thames, threatening the king's power throughout the city. Corbett must employ his wit and ingenuity to navigate the dangers ahead and bring the culprits to justice. With the stakes growing higher by the day, Corbett's skills are put to the ultimate test. Paul Doherty's gripping tale of medieval mystery and suspense is a testament to his outstanding depictions of medieval England. With clever twists and a complex plot, this latest installment in the Hugh Corbett series is not to be missed.
