Product Description:
Young Simon, recently and tragically orphaned in England, becomes a scribe who follows the exiled Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. The uncertainty of the tumultuous years leading to the infamous cathedral slaying is heightened by Simon's separation from his twin Edmund, who is in the service of King Henry II. The book deftly recounts events leading to the bishop's martyrdom in 1170.
