Title: And So It Ends
Review: BROTHER CADFAEL'S PENANCE by Ellis Peters is the last book in the series written before her death. It is one of the best, if not the best of the series, which leaves the reader asking and wanting more.Brother Cadfael's son, Oliver is in prison, but hidden from the ordinary ransom and hostage situations of a country split by warring factions.England is torn and worn as King Stephen and Empress Maud have fought each other into exaustion with no winner in sight. Rational men are with drawing into their own villages and manors to reap what they can for survival.Brother Cadfael forsakes his vows to search for and free his beloved son, but the way to Oliver's release is not easy as his path crosses the adversaries and the betrayed who are seeking a way out of the endless battle.A fitting conclusion for a great series. It is one of the best.Nash Black, author of Indie finalists WRITING AS A SMALL BUSINESS and HAINTS.
