The Book of Boy

by Catherine Gilbert Murdock

In 1350, Boy—a gentle, hunchbacked goatherd—leads a peaceful life.
But everything is upended when a mysterious pilgrim with a shadowy past arrives.
Drawn into a perilous quest for hidden treasure, Boy is torn from his quiet world by Secundus, a determined traveler with secrets of his own. Their journey reveals that this mission is far more complex than it seems.
