✦ Synopsis

Writing as Ellis Peters, Pargeter has charmed and intrigued readers with her bestselling Brother Cadfael medieval mysteries, soon to be a TV series. Now for the first time, all three of her acclaimed Heaven Tree novels, set in 12th-century Britain, are available in the U.S. in this one handsome volume.

#1 - The Heaven Tree England in the reign of King John - a time of beauty and squalor, of swift treachery and unswerving loyalty. Against this violent background, the story of Harry Talvace, master mason, unfolds.

#2 - The Green Branch Young Harry Talvace, the son of Ralf Isambard's master-builder who raised the great church of Parfois and was put to death by his jealous patron, has grown up at the court of Llewelyn, Prince of North Wales. Deep in his heart he nurses a desire for vengence, and when Harry become innocently involved in the tragedy which strikes Llewelyn's marriage he sets out to avenge his father's death. Alone he makes his way to Parfois to challenge Isambard. But enmity can prove as complex as love, Harry discovers, as in his turn he falls under the spell of the old warrior

#3 - The Scarlet Seed In the castle of Parfois, flaring down over the debated lands of the Welsh border, young Harry Talvace is held prisoner by his father's sometime patron and late destroyer, Ralf Isambard. Captive and captor, bound by implacable hatred and reluctant affection, seemed doomed to stalemate.
