Eighteen years before, confesses Brother Haluin, he'd been accountable for the demise of the infant she was to keep and the lady he liked. Today, following a near-miraculous escape from death, he desires only to ask the forgiveness of Bertradeis mom, Adelais de Clary, and do penance for his sins. But Haluin's objective provides death in its aftermath, for Bertrade de Clary's strategies weren't hers alone and, nonetheless, the thought of these might carry disapproval and shame. Brother Cadfael, delivered to nurse Haluin, becomes investigator once more having an assassin to create to justice.
