Owen Archer

Owen Archer returns in a mesmerizing short story about the danger of false miracles and the treachery of true believers. Magda the Riverwoman has called Owen Archer to her island hut in the middle of the River Ouse with a special favor-to guard a jar of human bones. No one in York is greedier than the relic dealers, the insatiable charlatans who sell flesh and bone as miracle cures, but Magda will not sell the remains at any price.
