War with the savage Welsh is coming to the March, the wild borderland between medieval England and Wales. The English are uncertain, however, where and when the blow will fall. So, Sir Geoffrey Randall, coroner of Herefordshire, dispatches his deputy, the impoverished knight Stephen Attebrook, to the border town of Clun to spy out the Welsh plan for invasion.

At the same time, Randall directs Attebrook to investigate the murder of a monk found dead in his bed at the Augustine priory of St. George at Clun.

The assignment thrusts Attebrook into a tempest of espionage, murder and a desperate feud between the priory and the lord of Clun, while a forbidden love leads to suffering and death.
