The Master’s Reliquary Book 2: The Song of the Cross
It is the summer of 1381, London, a complex time of crisis brought on by an oppressive poll tax, the warring of two rival claimants to the Papacy, and the preaching of Friar Ball and John Wyclif. Richard II is only fourteen, and threatened by his uncle, the unpopular Duke John. Caught in this political and spiritual turmoil are Mary Oldfield, who shoulders family responsibilities beyond her years, and Paul Angus, a searching young musical genius.
The exiting and romantic sequel to The Man of Signs by the master story-teller, Jim Dameron.

Another winner for Jim Dameron.
This is a great follow-on to “The Man of Signs”.
Authentically set in 14th century England, the book follows a young girl (who now owns the Reliquary), an engaging musician, and their problems caused by the upheaval of the Peasants’ Revolt.
Unlike The Man of Signs, The Song of the Cross gets off to a quick start (with a minor battle of all things). The characters are engaging and the story kept my attention.
I can’t wait for his next book in the series. It’ll be interesting to see where the Reliquary pops up next.

I can’t seem to rate this book, but I give it 9 stars.
