March 1147. Assassination espionage betrayal. King Owain has ridden east to confront King Madog of Powys with the attempt on the life of his son. Rhys now abbot of St. Kentigerns monastery hopes for peace and calls both Madog and Owain to the negotiating table. Peace however is the last thing on Madogs mind. Recalcitrant self-righteous and angry he sees King Owains recent weakness as his opportunity and knows that Owains own barons are circling like wolves waiting for the chance to overthrow him. With the throne of Gwynedd in the balance Abbot Rhys is desperate to broker a deal. And when the body of a royal spy is found within hours of King Owains arrival at St. Asaphs it is up to Gareth and Gwen to find the killer before the wrong man is hanged--and a country lost. The Unexpected Ally is the eighth Gareth & Gwen Medieval Mystery.
