In the ancient cloisters of Oxford, Father Thomas—a weary Dominican friar—hears a chilling confession: a student’s death in the Isis was no suicide. As unsettling symbols appear across the city, Thomas is drawn into a mystery that weaves together faith, folklore, and the dark corners of history.With only his fragile conviction and the help of a curious student, he must confront the shadows that haunt Oxford’s spires—and his own soul. The Black Friars is a literary theological thriller about secrets, sacrifice, and the search for truth in an indifferent age.
