There was one knight, however, who escaped the stake, vowing justice as he watched his innocent brothers die. The Devil's Acolyte There is a legend in Devon regarding the creation of the Abbot's way. A young monk supposedly stole the abbot's wine, and then committed a murder to replenish the stocks and hide his crime. The devil took him for his own. In autumn 1322, it would appear that history is repeating. Abbot Robert has found an empty barrel, and a body has been found on the moors. There are many who fear that the devil is returning to Tavistock, to claim the ungodly.  Meet the Authors Michael Jecks Michael Jecks is a best-selling writer of historical novels.

Famine, war and disease led to widespread despair, and yet the people showed themselves to be resilient.
