Hostage To Fortune [LP 16 Pt Edition] - Paperback

by Sarah Hawkswood (Author)

January, 1144. Hugh Bradecote does not want his betrothed heading off on a pilgrimage to the shrine of St Edgyth at Polesworth, but the Archbishop of Canterburyâ'¬"[s envoy and his entourage of monks seem Heaven-sent as escorts, right up until they are captured by a renegade who wants his forger out of the lord sheriffâ'¬"[s cells; a renegade who loathes the Benedictines, and kills for pleasure. Against a backdrop of a hard winter and even a frozen River Severn, Bradecote and Catchpoll are struggling to rescue the clerics, and Christina, before a psychopath does his worst, the lord sheriff loses patience, and Bradecote cracks under the pressure.
