À propos de cet audio

The winter of 1139 will disrupt Brother Cadfael’s tranquil life in Shrewsbury, as raging civil war has sent refugees fleeing north from Worcester. Among them are two young orphans from a noble family and their companion, a young Benedictine nun. The trio, never reaching Shrewsbury, have disappeared somewhere in the wild countryside.

Cadfael feels afraid for these three lost lambs, but another call for help sends him to the Church of Saint Mary. A wounded monk by the roadside will surely die without Cadfael’s healing arts. Why this holy man has been attacked and what his fevered ravings reveal soon give Brother Cadfael a clue to the fate of the missing travelers. Now Cadfael sets out on a dangerous quest to find them. The road will lead him to a terrible murder and a tale of passion gone awry, in Ellis Peters’ most stunning depiction yet of love and war.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Some of the most elegant, unstilted prose being written in mystery.” ( Chicago Sun-Times)
“This chronicle ranks as a favorite in the series….[Vanessa] Benjamin relies strictly on the drama inherent in the text, subtly underscoring it with pacing and emphasis.” ( AudioFile)
“The Ellis Peters books set in 12th-century Britain have the freshness of a new world at dawn….Peters weaves a complex, colorful, and at times quite beautiful tapestry.”—Houston Post
