Klappentext

A locked tower room. Two young people. MURDER HAS CLAIMED THEM BOTH.

The date is 1204

Sixteen-year-old Matilda de Neville is set to wed the young noble Guy de Saye. But just one week before their wedding, tragedy strikes. Sir Aumary Belvoir, Warden of the Forest of Savernake and Under-Constable of Marlborough Castle, hears their brutal murder from the room above his head.

The tower room where they died is a fortress within a fortress-forty feet in the air, sealed by seven feet of solid stone, and encircled by water. No one entered. No one left.

Tasked with solving this impossible crime, Aumary must draw upon the investigative skills he first honed in Belvoir's Promise. Are the grim clues from the forest he manages related? And behind it all, the castle keep seems to take on a life of its own-massive, menacing and malevolent.

Could these mysteries be linked to a haunting tale woven into one of the most beloved ancient folk songs? In this chilling second instalment of the series, Susanna M. Newstead was inspired to create a dark origin for the enigmatic ballad, She Moved Through the Fair.

She Moved Through the Fair is the second book in Susanna M. Newstead's Savernake Medieval Murder Mystery Novel series.
