Worcestershire, September 1145. Two boys find a dead Templar knight in the Forest of Wyre with a bloodstained document naming a traitor concealed on his body. The victim is identified as Ivo de Mitton, who disappeared years earlier under suspicion of murdering his own kin, reopening a history local families believed settled.
Bradecote, Catchpoll and Walkelin must decide whether Ivo was killed by outlaws, political enemies or someone pursuing private revenge. Stories of a shape-changing Raven Woman obscure evidence in a community where legend and family memory serve practical purposes. The accusation of treason raises the stakes beyond one death, because a false document can destroy a loyal lord as effectively as a proven betrayal.
