A century of turmoil. A shocking murder. A chance for redemption.

Nigel Baskervell has been hit by everything 14th-century England has to offer—war, revolution, plague. He’s still standing. Barely.

Now a county sheriff in England, Nigel is trying to carve out a future for himself and his seven-year-old son. A religious reform movement that is stirring up the countryside may even offer Nigel the hope he desperately needs.
But then a horrific murder at a wedding shatters Nigel’s quest for peace. Now he must solve the crime before the rich and powerful pin the blame on a man Nigel believes is innocent. Danger stalks him as he races the clock to find the culprit.

Can Nigel Baskervell find the strength to break through the web of deception before he finds a sword at his own throat?
