Synopsis:

Charlie's mother is about to be taken as a witch. She'll surely die - and Charlie too. With the aid of Balthazar, his mother's cat, Charlie escapes - but now he finds himself in another time, Northumbria four centuries earlier - and a different kind of danger! He's arrived for the prizegiving at the annual Feast of the Book. But just as the winner is about to be announced there's news of a different kind. One of the abbey monks has been found dead - horribly murdered. Charlie and his new-found friend Lady Marian are drawn into investigating the crime - but there's more to it than that. At the peril of their own lives can they solve a runic riddle and find the abbey's missing treasure?
