Coming
| In November of 667
A.D., Fidelma of Cashel has returned home to her
brother's castle to discover that a servant, her son's nurse, has been
found brutally murdered in the woods near town, and her son is missing,
presumed kidnapped or worse. Sister Fidelma, sister to king of Muman in
Ireland, an advocate of the Brehon courts, and a religieuse of the
Celtic Church, and her husband Brother Eadulf now must face their most
personal and baffling case ever. Is there a traitor at her brother's
court? Are the Ui Fidgente, the old blood enemies of Fidelma's family,
involved? And what is the role of the mysterious dwarf seen leaving the
kingdom carrying a leper's bell? With few clues and precious little
time, Fidelma must unravel this complicated puzzle in time to rescue
her missing child. |
