When a prominent citizen is murdered, former Captain of the Guard Owen Archer is persuaded out of retirement to investigate in this gripping medieval mystery.

Thank you to Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours and the Author,

Conspiracy of Wolves is the latest installment in the gripping series of Owen Archer mysteries. Set in the medieval 14th century York, Owen is still mourning the loss of his patron and facing uncertainty of his own future. Archer is called to investigate a horrific murder of one the members of a prominent family. Hoban Swann was brutally attacked and the father of the deceased has asked Owen to step in and use his expertise to investigate.

A rumor in the city, that vicious wolves are lurking in the woods and has caused the wounds and death of the recently departed. Owen teams up once again with Geoffrey Chaucer, who is in York on a secret mission on behalf of Prince Edward. Archer has a hunch after closer expectation that all is not what it seems to be. He most discover clues and a motive, but when another murder occurs. He knows their maybe a link between the two.

Once again Candace Robb manages to draw you in a thrilling mystery. This superb well-written read here with absolutely fantastic characters that totally captivated and fascinated me. The character relationship between Archer and Geoffrey Chaucer is well developed. Chaucer is always an amusing thorn in Owen’s side. You will enjoy their banter and the way the author has created a splendid dialogue between the two of them them. Another sub character worth noting is the healer apprentice, Allisoun who questions her instincts and is still learning to follow her inner voice.

Owen has lot on his plates with murders to solve, and a new Archbishop of York. Also there are new political intrigues and secrets for Owen to navigate through.

The author has created a plot that was intricate and kept me engaged from start to finish. The novel is both character driven and intriguing mystery. You will be completely vested in this unforgettable read.

Candace Robb writes some of the best a complex, suspenseful, atmospheric mysteries.

Conspiracy of Wolves is the eleventh novel in the Owen Archer series, but it can be read as a standalone.

About the Author

I’m Candace Robb, a writer/historian engaged in creating fiction about the late middle ages with a large cast of characters with whom I enjoy spending my days. Two series, the Owen Archer mysteries and the Kate Clifford mysteries, are set in late medieval York. The Margaret Kerr trilogy is set in early 14th century Scotland, at the beginning of the Wars of Independence. Two standalone novels (published under pseudonym Emma Campion) expand on the lives of two women in the court of King Edward III who have fascinated me ever since I first encountered them in history and fiction.

I am a dreamer. Writing, gardening, walking, dancing, reading, being with friends—there’s always a dreaming element.
