In the second book in the exciting and atmospheric Shadow of the Raven series we rejoin novice monk turned warrior, Matthew as he marches ahead of King Alfred, to Exeter to herald the King''s triumphant return to the city, marking his great victory at Edington. It should have been a journey of five or perhaps six days but, as Matthew is to find to his cost, in life the road you''re given to travel is seldom what you wish for - and never what you expect. An early confrontation leaves him wounded, but found and tended by a woodland-dwelling healer he survives, albeit with the warning that the damage to his heart will eventually take his life... |
