Foul Pray: A Murder at a Monastery
mystery
Where to get it
Britannia, 419. The legions are gone. The Picts are coming. A monk is floating in a forbidden lake.
St. Antony’s is a house of misfits and men hiding from what they did. Clodius is a nineteen-year-old novice, half orphan, half trouble, with a friend who lives off the abbey until something better turns up.
They sneak to the water. A viper strikes. A corpse surfaces. The abbot’s wrath does not buy the lie.
On his knees in the dark, Clodius hears a voice he never asked for: find the murderer.
He is the last soul anyone would pick for holy work. He knows it. The girl in the market does not help. Nobody will talk about Brother Adalbert. A thousand Picts have crossed Hadrian’s Wall.
Solve it before there is no one left to care.
A monastery mystery at the edge of the empire.
