Description

A medieval mystery unfolds in the harsh winter of 1381, as a series of gruesome deaths are linked to the sacred Stone of Scone. Brother Athelstan, a friar-sleuth, must navigate a deadly maze of murder and intrigue to uncover the truth. The city's prostitutes are falling prey to a silent, deadly assassin known as The Flayer, while Westminster Abbey is plagued by a series of hideous poisonings. Two former Upright Men, leaders of the Great Revolt, are found mysteriously hanged, and Athelstan is faced with his most baffling investigation to date. The connection between these brutal killings and the stone, cherished by the English crown as a symbol of its rule over Scotland, is unclear. As Athelstan delves deeper into the case, he must untangle a complex web of murder, politics, and deception. Can he uncover the truth behind the sinister events unfolding in London? This gripping medieval mystery features a compelling blend of historical detail and suspenseful storytelling, as Brother Athelstan confronts the darker side of human nature.
