In 1137 the ambitious head of the Shrewsbury Abbey has decided to acquire the remains of Saint Winifred for his Benedictine order. Brother Cadfael is part of the expedition sent to her final resting place in Wales and they find the villagers passionately divided by the Benedictine's off for the saint's relicts. Canny, wise and all too worldly, Cadfael isn't surprised when this taste for bones leads to bloody murder.
