Book Description:
Mayhem and miracles in Wales beckon Owen Archer back to his roots... and to a ruthless killer.
In the wet spring of 1370, a time of political unrest, a murdered man is left outside the gates of St. David's, Wales. Not far away, a wounded stranger, drenched in blood -- not all of it his own -- is carried to sanctuary by a wandering bard. And a mystery linked to warring passions for a woman and a nation begins for Owen Archer.
Owen, leaving his family behind, has undertaken a holy pilgrimage to Wales with his ailing father-in-law and his friend Geoffrey Chaucer -- and has agreed to carry out a mission for the English king. But he is unexpectedly moved by his return to his native land. And when asked to investigate the killing at St. David's, Owen -- sharp at discerning truth from falsehood -- begins to see the momentous import of a fugitive shrouded in secrecy, a lady betrayed by love, and the ties binding a man's soul... that tighten to torment his heart.

Candace Robb delivers again!An excellant Owen Archer mystery set against Medieval Wales. A good read if you enjoy the Owen Archer series!
This one was a bit confusing...too many names that were similar. Or maybe it was just me...I didnt get who half the people in the story were until I read the authors notes. Is he a monk or a bard or both?
