Description
Set in 12th-century England, this collection of three novels follows the investigations of Brother Cadfael, a monk with a keen mind and a taste for the natural world.
When the Prior of his monastery sets out to acquire the bones of a saint from a remote village, Cadfael's knowledge of the natural world proves invaluable in uncovering the truth behind a murder. Later, as King Stephen's reign is marked by violence and upheaval, Cadfael is tasked with administering rites to hanged prisoners and must use his skills to unravel a complex web of murder and deceit.
But it is in the quiet moments, surrounded by the shelves of his herbarium, that Cadfael's own life is threatened. A poisoned concoction, meant to ease his aching joints, turns deadly, and he must navigate a complex web of family intrigue to uncover the truth.
