Wynter Wakeneth: Medieval Murder Mystery of Savernake Forest Book 13

It is 1208. An icy landscape. A missing peasant. And a baby.

Aumary Belvoir is about to become a father again but sadly this joyous time is marred by the disappearance of one of his cowmen, Borden Lea, who has not come home from his work in Savernake Forest. Has he absconded? Is he lying injured in the snow or is there a more sinister reason for his disappearance?

A short while later, the small settlement of Braydon Oak is rocked when a cowman's wife is brutally murdered in broad daylight. Is it anything to do with the evil looking black bearded man seen in the forest by one of the forest women or is one of Bordern's cowherd companions guilty?

Then a second woman is murdered in the same way. Why is this small group of forest folk being targeted?

Aumary Belvoir, Constable of the county and Warden of the Forest of Savernake must travel the forest in dreadful winter weather, sifting all the available information, much of which he feels is being withheld from him. Why will people not tell him the truth? Even the usually friendly priest of Cadley is reticent.

Aumary draws close to an answer but this leads him into deadly peril. An unlikely enemy has him in their sights.

Have you ever wondered what might be the story behind some of our most beloved ancient folk songs? This, the thirteenth in the series, offers an interpretation of one such; the eerie thirteenth century song, Wynter Wakeneth. (Winter Awakes.)

About the Author

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.♥
