January 1304 and Hugh Corbett, devoted emissary of King Edward I, has been charged with another dangerous mission. Scrope, an unscrupulous manor lord, has reneged on his promise to hand over the Sanguis Christi, a priceless ornate cross he stole. Furthermore, he has massacred fourteen members of a travelling religious order, whose corpses now lie in the woods near Mistleham in Essex. The King, determined to restore order and claim the treasure before the Templars demand its return, sends Corbett to Mistleham. But as Corbett reaches the village, it's obvious that Scrope has other problems. A mysterious bowman has appeared, killing townspeople at random. As panic rises, can Corbett restore Mistleham to peace, and return the treasure to the King, before further blood is shed?
