The Crowfield Curse (2011)
“There would be snow before nightfall.
William was preoccupied as he went about his morning chores. He fetched water, carried firewood, took food to Brother Odo and the hob in the infirmary, and helped Peter carry turnips from the small shed at the far end of the garden to the kitchen. Time and again, his thoughts turned to what lay ahead, to the walk through the forest to the Hollow. When they got there, how would they find the grave? And what if the monks had buried the angel deep in the e...arth?
