Horrified, she is determined to discover who can have committed such a crime but when the trail leads to Castle Hutton she soon finds her own life in jeopardy from the brutal mercenary Escrick Fitzjohn. What has this to do with events in London? Mystery follows mystery as Hildegard seeks to unravel the truth.
