Résumé: A snowy March, 1367, and King Edward is impatient. He wants William of Wykeham confimed as Bishop of Winchester but the Pope is stalling, deterred by the man's wealth and political ambition. Thus Owen Archer finds himself heading a deputation from York to Fountains Abbey to lobby the powerful Cistercian abbots. Owen's old comrade Ned also arrives, under suspicion of murder following the mysterious death of a page. Owen puts his trust in his friend, until two more people disappear. Owen asks the Lord Chancellor for help, little knowing it will involve him with the King's mistress, Alice Perrers, ever a dangerous enemy.
