![]() Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. ![]() ![]() La primavera del año 1144 se presenta hermosa, y fray Cadfael siente en sus venas un conocido hormigueo: la vieja añoranza de una vida más activa. ¿Será casualidad o milagro que en esos momentos aparezca por la abadía de San Pedro y San Pablo su antiguo discípulo y amigo fray Marcos? Porque éste está encargado de una misión diplomática en un obispado galés, y necesita alguien que hable el idioma del país. Alguien que lo hable tan bien como fray Cadfael. Así pues, los monjes viajarán a Gales: en la corte de Owain Gwynedd se verán envueltos en las consecuencias de la traición del hermano de éste, el atolondrado Gadwaladr, quien, desposeído de sus tierras por su comportamiento, no duda en aliarse con los daneses para invadir el reino de Owain... When an old acquaintance Brother Mark, a special envoy from the Bishop, requests Brother Cadfael to assist him to Wales, neither of them expected to be in the middle of a Welsh brotherly feud which brings Irish pirates to pillage & plunder. In the midst of the chaos, a Welsh nobleman is found dead, a bride to be goes missing, & a deadly confrontation nearly gets both Cadfael & Mark killed. Will Cadfael discover the murderer before all hell breaks loose? Read & find out. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML: In the Summer of 1144, a strange calm has settled over England. The armies of King Stephen and Empress Maud, the two royal cousins contending for the throne, have temporarily exhausted other. On the whole, Brother Cadfael considers peace a blessing. Still a little excitement never comes amiss to a former soldier, and Cadfael is delighted to accompany his young friend, Brother Mark, on a mission of church diplomacy to his native Wales. But shortly after their arrival, the two monks are caught up in yet another royal feud. The Welsh prince Owain Gwynedd has banished his brother Cadwaladi, accusing him of the treacherous murder of an ally. The reckless Cadwaladi has retaliated by landing an army of Danish mercenaries, poised to invade Wales and retake his lost lands. As the two armies teeter on the brink of bloody civil war, Cadfael is captured by the Danes. His fellow prisoner is a headstrong young woman fleeing an arranged marriage-or perhaps her involvement in a murder at Owain's camp. But before Cadfael can untangle the passions that led to one death, he has to survive the brotherly quarrel that could plunge an entire kingdom into deadly chaos. .Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
