With their mentor dead, Crispin and Troth make their way to Iceland, reportedly free from strife. Along the way, Troth finds her home in a convent while Crispin joins a family of (purportedly) traveling musicians. It's another rousing page-turner, a brisk, suspenseful narrative with effortlessly interwoven details of medieval life and provocative questions of ethics and morality.
