Historical | Mystery Woman Sleuth
Margaret of Ashbury is ready to settle down; the medieval
healer is
looking forward to an uneventful life in the country. And,
indeed, life
with her true love and a brood of rambunctious children is
nearly
perfect—except for her husband Gregory’s ever-meddling
family. Finding
himself deep in debt once again, Gregory’s father has
plotted to sell
Margaret’s daughter off in marriage to save his woodlands
from a greedy
abbot. In a panic, Margaret turns to her old friend Brother
Malachi to
help save her daughter by whatever means necessary. The
tension within
the feuding family rouses an ancient being that dwells in a
spring at
the center of the disputed woodland. The watery creature has
its own
plans, and its eye is on Margaret’s infant son.
Favorite
characters return, the stakes are high, and the air is thick
with
intrigue and danger. Written with the historical accuracy,
supernatural
plot twists, and humor that Riley’s readers have grown to
love, The Water Devil is a high-spirited adventure
that brings Margaret’s odyssey to a satisfying conclusion.
