First Time in Paperback - trade edition
SummaryThe “richly detailed, almost indecently
thrilling” (New York Times) follow up to The
Serpent’s Tale.
When a fire at Glastonbury Abbey reveals two skeletons,
rumor has it they may belong to King Arthur and Queen
Guinevere. King Henry II hopes so, for it would help him put
down a rebellion in Wales, where the legend of Celtic savior
Arthur is strong. To make certain, he sends Adelia Aguilar,
his Mistress of the Art of Death, to Glastonbury to examine
the skeletons.
At the same time, the investigation into the abbey fire will
be overseen by the Bishop of St. Albans, father of
Adelia’s daughter. Trouble is, someone at Glastonbury
doesn’t want either mystery solved, and is prepared to
kill to prevent it...
