Rhys and Catrin contend with betrayal and insurrection as they resume their duties in the king's court ... September 1284. Within moments of rejoining the king's company, Rhys and Catrin learn King Edward has not only melted down the silver seal of their murdered prince and turned it into a chalice, but the chalice itself has gone missing a matter of days before its intended consecration at Vale Royal Abbey. Assigned to find the culprit, they discover instead a populace seething over the predations of the abbey and its officers, and an unusual alliance between Norman and Saxon. As the unrest in the countryside grows, Rhys and Catrin's initial apathy turns to urgency, and with Cheshire teetering on the brink of open rebellion, they are not the only ones who have to decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to bring down a king. Herald is the fourth book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries. Series so far: Crouchback, Chevalier, Paladin, Herald, Bardd

Catrin and Rhys travel to Windsor Castle for their third medieval mystery together… August 1284. On the heels of King Edward's triumph over Wales, the high point of his reign thus far, he receives the worst news possible: his eldest living son and heir to the throne of England has died.

But although they find victims and villains aplenty, their far greater test—of friendship, loyalty, and allegiance—is managing the expectations of a grieving king, who fears his son was murdered—and fears even more that he wasn't. Paladin is the third book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries. Series so far: Crouchback, Chevalier, Paladin, Herald
