When a troubled novice is blamed for the disappearance of a priest, Brother Cadfael seeks to save his soul'€”and his life Outside the pale of the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, in September of 1140, a priestly emissary for King Stephen has been reported missing. But inside the pale, 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 '€œthe Devil'€™s Novice.'€ Shunned and feared, Meriet is soon linked to the missing priestly emissary'€™s dreadful fate. Only Brother Cadfael believes in Meriet'€™s innocence, and only the good sleuth can uncover the truth before a boy'€™s pure passion, not evil intent, leads a novice to the noose.
