Mist over the water - Alys Clare

'This page-turning historical thriller from one of Britain's most talented popular fiction authors ticks all the boxes' - Booklist Starred Review

The second in a brand-new medieval mystery series from the author of the popular Hawkenlye
series

On Ely Island, the Normans are proclaiming their authority with the construction of a magnificent cathedral. When Morcar, fishing for eels nearby, is attacked, his cousin Lassair is sent to nurse him. Morcar tells Lassair a frightening tale of assassins in the dark and a brief vision of horror. Then the killers strike again, and, as the secret hidden within the walls of Ely Abbey claims more victims, Lassair is forced to face a challenge that she fears is far beyond her . .

"The second in the Aelf Fen series... is a worthy continuation of the entrancing story of Lassair, whose talents are both practical and mystical"
