Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, is enraged when his hawk is killed by an arrow in the Forest of Delamere. When two poachers are caught, he orders their execution, yet neither of them fired the arrow.

Who is trying to rescue him? Why is Idwal, the over-zealous Welsh priest, lurking in the city? And whose arrow is responsible for a gruesome human death in the forest?

The Hawks of Delamere is a captivating medieval mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they follow the twists and turns of this intricate plot.
