Shadow in the Dark (The Harwood Mysteries #1) (Paperback)
An attack by bandits in the middle of the night leaves a young boy with no memory of who he is or where he is from. Nursed back to health by the devoted monks in a Benedictine abbey, he takes the name Alexander, or Xan for short. Aided by the kindly Brother Andrew, Xan commits himself to finding out who he really is.
Does he have a family? Are they still alive?
And who—or what—is the shadowy figure creeping around the abbey in the dead of night?
