About this ebook
Eleventh century Cambridge is rocked by a series of brutal murders.
Called out to attend a body found on a lonely stretch of river bank, its throat torn out, apprentice healer Lassair is sceptical of the sheriff’s verdict that this was the result of a wild animal attack. But when a second body is discovered, similarly mutilated, rumours engulf the town that the legendary demon known as the Night Wanderer has returned to wreak havoc.
Determined to stop the fear spreading and prove that the killer is human, Lassair and lawman Jack Chevestrier investigate. If they could only find out what links the victims, they would be one step closer to discovering the Night Wanderer’s identity – and what it is he really wants. But when the killer turns his sights on Lassair herself, can she survive long enough to find out?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Intrigue, murder and the mystical!I must admit to confusion as I first entered the Aelf Fens world, but no more than that of the inhabitants of 11th century Cambridge. It seems a mythical figure had arisen from the dark past and this figure of horror is randomly gouging out the throats of its victims. There appears no rhyme or reason to the deaths, except perhaps the waterfront.Lassair and Jack Chevestrier are thrown together (the quiet, effecient and handsome lawman and the winsome healer apprentice who is more than she seems) as the situation escalates, both politically, and as reflected in the panic of Cambridge's inhabitants.Together they unlock the mystery, discover the looting perfidy of the sheriff's grasping nephew and find the terrible answers to the ravaged bodies, not without cost to them both. The nature of Gurdyman and Lassaire's mentor-mentored relationship, and the mystical works that stretches beyond the healing calling risk exposure and darker related secrets emerge.As one part of the story finds resolution we are left wondering about Jack and Lassaire, and Lassaire's former lover and king's spy, the still much loved Rolen.Clare's portrayal of this time has you present and aware.I really must read the next in the series!A NetGalley ARC
