Ellis Peters Unabridged CD 7 Hours

n the year of our Lord 1141, August comes in golden as a lion, and two monks ride into the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul bringing with them disturbing news of war--and a mystery.

The strangers tell how the strife between the Empress Maud and King Stephan has destroyed the town of Winchester and their priory. Now Brother Humlis, who is handsome, gaunt, and very ill and Brother Fidelis, youthful comely-and totally mute-must seek refuge at Shrewsury. Brother Cadfael faces a poignant test of his discretion and his beliefs as he unravels a secret so great it can destroy a life, a future, and a holy order.
