Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Fangborn (1.2)
"The Serpent's Tale" is a Fangborn story set in 13th-century England from the award-winning author of Seven Kinds of Hell. When the villagers of Godestone report a series of bizarre and troubling events, Sir Hugo, his heavily pregnant wife, Lady Alice, and her distant kinsman Father Gilbert are honor bound to investigate, for they are "born to the Fang," shape-shifters dedicated to fighting evil in secret. And the events are worrying indeed--stolen farm implements, a mutilated goat, and now a missing child. Their investigation is further complicated by the arrival of Robert Fynch, who was drawn to the scene by the tales of mysterious happenings in the village. A member of the fanatical Order of Nicomedia, he is bent on tracking down and killing those "born to the Fang," believing the shape-shifters to be demons, rather than the protectors of humanity they truly are. Can Lady Alice, Sir Hugo, and Father Gilbert stop a murderer in their village without their true nature being discovered? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Villagers come to Sir Hugo with their concerns. Thefts have occurred. A sheep was brutally killed. And a baby has been taken. Sir Hugo has sent his men out to hunt for the missing baby.
Meanwhile, A Robert and Toby suddenly appear in the village. They say that they are their with the permission of Sir Hugo's boss. Um, I mean the guy above him feudally. They are members of the Order who hunt demons. The same order that shows up in the Fangborn series. They have heard of the village problems, and believe a demon is on the loose nearby.
This alarms the priest, Gilbert, Sir Hugo, and Lady Alice. Since all three of them are werecreatures. Gilbert and Alice are weresnakes. Hugo is a werewolf. Naturally they wish to find out what is going on before Robert starts in on the 'torturing everyone to find the demons' trick.
And interesting short story. And easy in and out story. Quite well presented. Good characterization. (
