Eagerly awaited by fans: the start of the new medieval series by Andrea Schacht. Arson in the cathedral city? A mysterious fire in the convent of the Maccabees leads to the death of the abbess. A sick pilgrim, who was rescued from the waters of the Rhine a few days ago by Myntha, the daughter of the ferry operator from Mülheim, is suspected. Myntha does not believe in the pilgrim's guilt, especially since it becomes known that the abbess was reportedly arguing with a man about the quality of incense just before her death. Could the dark stranger, who recently took up residence near the ferry house with a flock of ravens, be behind it all?.
