Arthur's famous sword, Excalibur, is hidden with the travelers, to be delivered to William of Sicily, inciting the curiosity of those who recognize the value of possessing such a powerful cultural icon. It doesn't help that the normally perceptive and astute Adelia is distracted during the journey, ignoring Rowley's warnings of grave danger, giving into increasingly petulant behavior at her own risk. For the first time, Adelia displays the foolish actions of her female contemporaries, denying her intuition, putting everyone in danger. But Franklin is a skillful writer who manipulates plot and characters as adeptly as Adelia performs forensic examinations, the sub-plots building to a climax that results in a cliffhanger and scant hope for a successful resolution. From the crafty assassin to an Irish sea captain who falls in love with the woman who loves another, this novel is filled with the vibrancy of the era, the ignorance and superstition of witch-burners and the encroaching fingers of the Catholic Church with its dreaded penchant for inquisition.
