Description

A brand-new (2014) Historical Mystery from the pen of bestselling author Denise Domning!

It’s 1194 and Sir Faucon de Ramis, the shire’s newly appointed Keeper of the Pleas, must make an official declaration of the cause of a miller’s death.

As the shire’s first Crowner threads the tangled relationships between the sheriff, the village of Priors Holston and the priory that once ruled it, the simple task turns political – and more dangerous than he could imagine.

Advance Praise

"In this Medieval mystery of stunning realism, Domning brings the English countryside alive with all the rich detail of a Bosch painting. With well-realized characters and a depth of historical detail, she creates a vibrant mystery and a layered, engaging protagonist. CSI 12th century style. I can't wait to see more."
~Christina Skye, New York Times best-selling author of A Highlander for Christmas

"Pure and unapologetically Medieval, [Season of the Raven] reads like a Hollywood movie because of Ms. Domning's ability to create a properly dismal and dark High Middle Age setting...The world of Medieval justice is revealed in all of its shortcomings. I can't recommend it highly enough. Five solid stars."
~Kathryn LeVeque, author of The Wolfe

"Well-drawn characters, fascinating details of medieval life, and an intriguing plot make Season of the Raven a must-read book. I look forward to the next one in the series."
~Catherine Kean, bestselling author of Dance of Desire
