A love betrayed. A friendship shattered. A miscarriage of justice? It is 1207. A young woman arrives at Durley village, deep in Savernake Forest. It seems she has walked the many miles from Hereford seeking the father of her unborn child. She swears that he's a Durleyman and that his name is Tom Potter. But Tom denies it. He has never been to Hereford. The child is born but by the following day the young mother is dead. Murdered by strangulation. Is Tom guilty after all? Who are the men who are raiding the forest indiscriminately killing any artisan working there and what are they searching for? Aumary Belvoir, Warden of Savernake Forest and the King's constable in Wiltshire is duty bound to investigate and finds himself pitted against both the sheriff of the county and the chief forester in this tense tale of mystery and enigma. Aumary must prove Tom Potter innocent or it's likely he'll go to the gallows and if he isn't careful, Aumary may swiftly follow him! Have you ever wondered what might be the story behind some of our most beloved ancient folk songs? This, the twelfth in the series, offers an interpretation of one such song, Though I Live Not Where I Love.
Autorenporträt
Susanna, like Aumary Belvoir has known the Forest of Savernake all her life. After a period at the University of Wales studying Speech Therapy, she returned to Wiltshire and then moved to Hampshire to work, not so very far from her forest. Susanna developed an interest in English history, particularly that of the 12th and 13th centuries, early in life and began to write about it in her twenties. She now lives in Northamptonshire with her husband and a small wire haired fox terrier called Tabor. ¿ Susanna hopes to return fairly soon to her beloved Wiltshire downs where she will continue to write the Savernake series and her Kennet Valley Tales set in the area around Marlborough, Wiltshire.¿
