The third book in the highly amusing, award-winning Pagan Chronicles. Entertaining historical fiction set in twelfth century France. "In God's name, Roland, where do you think you are? Do you really believe that a monastery is so different from anywhere else? Do you really believe that monks don't lie?" A quiet life I thought. A chance for me and Lord Roland to take it easy for a bit, away from filthy peasants, bloodthirsty Infidels and two-faced nobles. Just keep our heads down, say a few prayers and relax. Who was I trying to kid? Roland's going off his rocker, the teacher hates my guts and the monastery turns out to be a cesspool of secrets. The bright side? I had to wash the feet of six paupers today, and not one of them was a leper. Reviews "This series may well become a cult favourite." Publishers Weekly.
