What does a welsh archer do when he loses an eye and no longer trusts his ability as a soldier? He volunteers to look into a mysterious murder which might be more complicated than it first appears.
This is the first in the Owen Archer series, set in England during the turbulent reign of Edward III. After losing his eye, Owen is trying to reinvent himself, but at the same time he must navigate sticky political realities as his old liege dies and he must choose who to serve.
And on top of it all, he might be falling in love...
