Where there's murder, there's a mystery to be solved!

When Brother Cyric, Temple Knight of Saint Mathew, finds himself travelling to the countryside to bless a Duke's Midwinter Feast, the arrival of a mysterious guest piques his interest.

But he's barely in the front door when he overhears a conversation that reveals his host may not be the man everyone thinks he is.

After a dinner filled with more animosity than good food, Cyric's slumber is interrupted by the news that the duke has mysteriously died.

Now, with a dead noble and a room full of suspects, it falls to Brother Cyric to unravel this medieval fantasy whodunit!

Follow the ever curious and always observant Brother Cyric as he endeavours to separate mere hatred from murderous intent in A Midwinter Murder, the second story in The Chronicles of Cyric series.

Curious how Father Roland choose Cyric to become an investigator for the Brothers of Saint Mathew? Pick up Into the Maelstrom and read his prequel story today!
