A murderous monk. An ancient riddle. A man willing to pay any price to protect the people he loves.

Nigel Baskervell has faced war, revolution, and plague—and survived. Now serving as county sheriff in 14th-century England, he’s determined to shield his family and closest friends from the horrors stalking the land. But when a monk seeking a lost relic collapses at his feet and dies in his arms, Nigel must choose: walk away unscathed or dive headlong into danger to solve a centuries-old mystery.

Trusting his newfound faith, Nigel embarks on a high-risk quest for the missing relic. As power-hungry nobles and hostile clergy close in, the sheriff fears he’s putting his loved ones in mortal danger. Can he unravel the riddle in time to recover the relic—and save those he holds dear?
