The Monastery Chapter 23
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which young Halbert Glendinning, burdened by the weight of a deadly quarrel, finds unexpected guidance from a pious stranger whose fervent faith and worldly wisdom challenge his own beliefs, whilst they journey together through treacherous moorland towards the solitary stronghold of the Avenels. The narrative paints a compelling portrait of a wild frontier region, where ancient castles stand surrounded by inscrutable waters and the tangled lives of their inhabitants are shaded by political intrigue and uncertain alliances.
