The Martinmas Plot

In 1117, Miles Edwulfson has become a lord, but his status does not protect him from old enemies. Galon, earl of Trent and councillor to King Henry, orders Miles to uncover a suspected plot against the crown, forcing him into the forest and into the role of outlaw. The novel follows Miles as he gathers loyal men, evades the sheriff and tries to determine whether he is investigating treason or being manoeuvred into his own destruction.
