"Robb deftly interweaves a complex story of love, passion and
murder into the troubled and tangled fabric of Welsh history,
fashioning a rich and satisfying novel." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Under
the pretense of escorting his father-in-law and the archbishop's
secretary on a pilgrimage to the sacred city of St. David's in
Wales, Owen Archer and Geoffrey Chaucer, in truth, are carrying out
a mission for the Duke of Lancaster. England and France are at war,
and the southern coast of Wales is vulnerable to invasion--Owen and
Geoffrey are to recruit archers for the duke's army and inspect his
Welsh fortifications on the coast, while quietly investigating
whether the duke's steward at Cydweli Castle is involved in a
French plot to incite rebellion in Wales. But trouble precedes them
in the cathedral city of St. David's. On Whitesands Beach beyond
the city a young man is beaten and left for dead, then spirited
away by a Welsh bard. Shortly afterward a corpse clothed in the
livery of the Duke of Lancaster is left at the city gate, his shoes
filled with white sand. Meanwhile, at Cydweli Castle, a chain of
events begun by the theft of money from the castle's exchequer ends
in a violent death and the disappearance of the steward's beautiful
young wife. Owen and Geoffrey begin to see connections linking the
troubles in city and castle, and learn they must unravel the
complex story of betrayed love and political ambition to prevent
more deaths. But in the course of his investigations in the land of
his birth, Owen is haunted by doubts about his own loyalties...
