another great book with owen archer's character. i really to enjoy candace robb's writing about early england. with so much detail i feel like i am there. any fan of archer and robb must read this book.
it's 1367, when sir willian of wyndesore's page is found drowned in the icy windsor castle's moat, some say he was done away with by ned townley, a solder, spy and jealous lover. but ned's struggle to prove his innocence to his ladylove, mary, is thwarted by his abrupt dispatch to yorkshire on a royal mission.
an unseen hand speeds mary to a watery grave, while hot-tempered ned vanishes in the northern wilds. archer, his old comrade-in-arms, must pruse hime through a tangle of threats and butchered corpes, to save his life or bring him to justice. owen, with his one sound eye, can see more than most with two, but what the bold ex-archer spies with the help of this apothecary wife lucie will enmesh hime and his friend in the dark and bloddy intrigues of church, crown, and court.
