What this book is about
On what seems to be his deathbed, Brother Haluin confesses to a terrible sin from his past involving a woman he loved. When he unexpectedly survives, he vows to make a pilgrimage to the grave of the woman he wronged. Cadfael accompanies him—and the journey uncovers that Haluin's sins are not quite what he believed, and that old secrets still have living victims.
