In the summer of 1380 a Frenchman is murdered in Hawkmere Manor - a lonely, gloomy dwelling place, otherwise known as the "Devil's Domain". Sir John Cranston and Brother Athelstan are summoned to investigate the mysterious death but their path is riddled with obstacles.
How could the murderer have entered the Frenchman's chamber when the room was locked from within? Their aid, Sir Maurice Maltravers, is more of a hindrance than a help, as he faces the misery of heartbreak. Lady Angelica, the woman he intended to marry, has been whisked away to a convent by her tyrannical and disapproving father. It soon becomes apparent that only when the lovers are reunited will any progress be made in the murder investigation.
