Can the evil at work ever be stopped?
The compulsive and evocative twentieth novel in the Knights Templar series from Michael Jecks, featuring much-loved characters Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and Simon Puttock. Perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom and George R. R. Martin.
‘Atmospheric and cleverly plotted’ – Observer
March 1323: in the rural idyll of Iddesleigh, a gang of men break into the home of Bailiff Simon Puttock’s servant and attack his family. When word reaches Simon, he and Sir Baldwin de Funshill, Keeper of the King’s Peace, hurry to the home, finding it burned to the ground and the bodies from within already buried.
Could this be the result of a tragic accident, or is a darker force at work? As Baldwin and Simon attempt to uncover the truth, it quickly becomes clear that a terrible evil lurks in the land, and that the pain and bloodshed are far from over.

Praise for Michael Jecks: Atmospheric and cleverly plotted
Michael Jecks is the master of the medieval whodunnit
The most wickedly plotted medieval mystery novels
Marvellously portrayed
If you care for a well-researched visit to medieval England, don't pass this series
Tremendously successful medieval mystery series
Complicated, well-populated, written with cross-cutting gusto, and accompanied by scholarly extras
Memorable characters, steadily absorbing period background... a commendable achievement
Each page is densely packed with cuckolding, coarseness, lewdness, lechery, gore galore, but also with nobility. A heady mix!
Another rip-roaring medieval intrigue. Terrific
