Description

Format: Mass Market Paperback, 1st ed., 288pp. ISBN: 0446405159 Publisher: Warner Books, Incorporated Pub. Date: January 1997 Edition Desc: REISSUE In September of the year of Our Lord 1140, a priestly emissary for King Stephen has been reported missing. But what troubles Brother Cadfael is a proud, secretive nineteen-year-old novice. Brother Cadfael has never seen two men more estranged than the Lord of Aspley and Meriet, the son he coldly delivers to the abbey to begin a religious vocation. Meriet, meek by day, is so racked by dreams at night that his howls earn him the nickname the Devil's Novice. Shunned and feared, he is soon linked to the missing priest's fate. Only Brother Cadfael believes in Meriet's innocence, and only he can uncover the truth before a boy's pure passion, not evil intent, leads a novice to the noose.
