Did I know who did it and who would be framed before the body was even discovered? Yep. Did that take away the pleasure of the book? Not a bit. ( ) Año 1145. El equilibrio de fuerzas entre el rey Esteban y la empreatriz Matilde pone de manifiesto la necesidad de buscar una solución negociada al conflicto que los enfrenta. Para ello, se convoca una reunión en Coventry el último día de Noviembre. Fray Cadfael pide licencia a su abad, Radulfo, para asistir a ella. No por interés político, que no lo tiene, sino humano, encontrar a un joven caballero, Oliveros de Bretaña, que cayó prisionero de las tropas de Esteban cuando se le rindió el castillo de Faringdon. Y es que Oliveros de Bretaña es el hijo de Cadfael. En Conventry, para su decepción, el monje no logra descubrir el rastro de su hijo, pero sí algo preocupante: que no todo el mundo está a favor de la paz, que existen poderosas fuerzas que se benefician del sufrimiento de muchos, que un aura de reprimida violencia preside las reuniones. When a fortress is betrayed to King Stephen's forces, the defenders are passed out to the victors to be ransomed. When both King Stephen & Maud meet at a neutral site, someone is found murdered outside the church. Cadfael in search of his son must uncover who committed the act before an innocent man is hanged. But when the prime suspect is kidnapped by a man bent on vengeance, Cadfael stumbles on his son's whereabouts. Everything is suddenly complicated when Maud surrounds the castle with the avenger, the prime suspect, the son, & Cadfael in it. Will Cadfael keep everyone involved alive before a massacre occurs? I've been putting off reading this, the last of the Brother Cadfael series, but I'm glad I finally did take the plunge. Without spoilers: Brother Cadfael finds himself having to leave his duties in order to assist in brokering a peace between Empress Maud and King Stephen. There's also some unfinished business from previous books that is being addressed, so don't read this until you've read the previous entries. Nice swan song. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
