When Abbott Radulfus changes allegiance to the pretender, King Stephen, during the midst of civil war, he consents to the appointment of Father Ailnoth as the new parish priest for Shrewsbury. Ailnoth is materialistic, implacable, and overly puritanical and soon alienates everyone in the shire. When Cadfael refers a pregnant young girl to the new priest for absolution, the unforgiving confessor dismisses her as a whore and orders her out of the church. When the distraught girl is found drowned in the mill pond, an apparent suicide, the peasants rise up against Ailnoth, who is rescued by the Abbey's monks. Cadfael finds what he thinks may be signs of violence on her body and suspects foul play. When Ailnoth's lifeless body is found entangled in the mill wheel, he knows that there is a murderer in Shrewsbury.

more

Jocelyn and Iveta love one another but she is to marry Baron Huon de Domville, a marriage arranged by her uncle, Godfrid Picard. The Baron is something of a brute and the marriage has been arranged more to the benefit of Picard and his wife than any consideration for his ward Iveta. On the day of the marriage however, with Iveta awaiting him in the chapel, the Baron is found dead in the forest. Cadfael soon determines that he was strangled and suspicion immediately falls upon Jocelyn who, although a servant to the Baron, has been less than discreet in making his feelings towards Iveta known. Cadfael has developed a soft spot for the young lovers and is convinced of Jocelyn's innocence. The main question for Cadfael is just why the Baron was in the forest in the first place and just where did he go on the night before his wedding? While Hugh Berringer and Sergeant Ward search for the missing Jocelyn, who is in hiding, Cadfael comes across another dead noble and slowly the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place.
