After a number of Brother Cadfael mysteries had been written, Peters wrote the story of how Cadfael joined the Benedictines. Cadfael, a crusader, sea captain, and at the time, a man-at-arms for a corrupt English nobleman gives up a life of adventure for one of peace and contemplation. That peace will often be disturbed by murder, theft, and other assorted crimes. Cadfael balances the worldly and spiritual and always solves the mystery. Two other short mysteries taking place in the Abbey of St. Peter and Paul and Shrewsbury are included.
