Lassair's sister, Goda, and her mother-in-law have been attacked in
their home. The mother-in-law was brutally murdered while Goda was
injured. Lassair has set out to help her sister. The following day
Hrype brings news of another attack at a nearby nunnery. Fortunately no
one was killed this time. The nunnery is where Lassair's other sister
lives. Is the attacker after the women in Lassair's family?
Recent graves are the next thing under attack. Lassair comes to the
realisation that the intruder is now looking for her grandmother's
grave. When an aunt of Lassair is killed, her father determines that
she must go to Cambridge to be in the safety of Gurdyman's house and
continue here studies.
However, Gurdyman's house isn't as secure as Lassair's father had hoped.
The killer has followed her to Cambridge, but fortunately Gurdyman's
house has a secret crypt where the two hid during the intrusion of the
killer. With no further attacks over a couple of months, Lassair feels
that it is safe for her to return home. Unfortunately for her, on the
way home, she is kidnapped. Taken to a ship, she has no idea of its
destination.
After several days at sea, Lassair finds herself in Iceland. The
question is, why Iceland? There she learns that she had been kidnapped
for her own protection. Safely returned home, Lassair feels that she is
safe, only to be captured again. This time she is quickly released,
but with a threat hovering over her.
There is a lot of turmoil and trouble awaiting Lassair in the latest
novel by Alys Clare about the healer of the fens. A good, quick read.
