Adelia Aguilar is Henry II's Mistress of the Art of Death. She has been summoned to investigate the death of Rosamund, Henry's mistress. Evidence and rumour point to Eleanor, Henry's wife as the murderer.
On her way to the tower in which Rosamund lived and died, Adelia and her company come across another murder, which she must investigate. A blizzard and cold snap traps Adelia and her company at the abbey of Godstow. While at Godstow, the one person who might be able to tell Adelia who killed Rosamund is in turn killed in what the murderer hoped would be taken for a suicide. Adelia is trapped at Godstow with Queen Eleanor and her mercenaries, which makes the investigation difficult. Will Henry arrive in time to save her and prevent people from being wrongly accused? Will his arrival prevent a civil war?
Read on, my friends.
