Master of Souls

Set in 668 A.D., the story follows Fidelma of Cashel, a skilled advocate and sister to the king, as she investigates the murder of Abbess Faife and the vanishing of six young female religieuse. Upon her arrival with her husband, Eadulf, they encounter another shocking murder of a senior scholar in the oratory. The narrative weaves together elements of mystery, Celtic culture, and the challenges faced by women in a male-dominated society, as Fidelma navigates the complexities of faith, law, and justice.
