Bird Talk: A Tale of Medieval Magic

by Mark Lord

Overview

What do you do when you have accused the woman you love of necromancy?

Bird Talk is a short story about Roger, a young priest living in a small medieval English town, who is trying to uncover what he believes are foul magical deeds. But instead he manages to implicate the women he desires in accusations of witchcraft. With only the town drunk to help him, Roger must untangle the mess he has created.

Bird Talk is a heady concoction of gritty medieval life, humour and magic.
