Description
Sir Benedict Palmer has one final job to complete: helping King Henry II's knights seize Archbishop Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. However, what begins as a clandestine arrest turns into cold-blooded murder. When Fitzurse, the knights' ringleader, kidnaps Theodosia, a young nun who witnessed the crime, Palmer is forced to act. Palmer and Theodosia are now on the run, relying on each other as they try to uncover the motive behind Becket's murder and the shocking truth that could destroy a kingdom. With their lives at risk, they must navigate treacherous paths and secrets to find justice. As they flee, Palmer and Theodosia are united by circumstance, but their different worlds make their partnership a precarious one. Can they overcome their differences and work together to uncover the truth?
