"As always, Candace Robb writes a powerful story intertwined with
genuine characters of the day." --HISTORICAL NOVEL REVIEW
Archbishop Thoresby of York, the second most powerful cleric in
England, lies dying in his bed. The end of his life is seen by the
great families of the North as a chance to promote one of their own
as his successor, and Thoresby himself announces he will leave the
matter to the dean and chapter of York. On the eve of this
decision, the dying archbishop agrees to a visit from Joan,
Princess of Wales, wife of the Black Prince, heir to the throne of
England. Thoresby's captain of the guard, Owen Archer, has no doubt
that trouble will follow. As soon as the company rides into the
palace yard he is proved right: they arrive burdened with the body
of one of their party, and Owen finds evidence that the man's death
was no accident. Within days of this discovery, a courier carrying
an urgent message for the archbishop is found hanging in the woods.
With guards surrounding the property, it is clear that the murderer
walks among the palace guests. The powerful Percy and Neville
families are well represented in the entourage, including a woman
who remembers an afternoon tryst with Owen as much, much more. Even
the princess' son is suspect. As Owen races to unmask the guilty
and rid the palace of the royal party, his final wish for his lord
is that he might die in peace.
