Nicolas Picard, on his way home from Exeter, encounters a fierce wildcat attack. However, upon his discovery, there are distinct lacerations on his neck, indicating that they were inflicted by human hands. As royal commissioners, Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret, arrive in the city to settle local land disputes, their proceedings are abruptly halted by the untimely demise of a crucial participant: Picard. With Picard's wife, mistress, and the wife of the former estate owner all vying for ownership of the land, Delchard and Bret are left to ponder the driving force behind their murderous actions.

In the end, the commissioners uncover the shocking truth behind the murder and the true nature of the land's secret. They bring the perpetrators to justice and restore peace to the community. The story serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the dangers of greed, power, and the hidden forces that can shape our lives.
