"England, 1324 -- a land rife with superstition and gripped by fear of the Church's holy wrath. When a beggar is murdered in the quiet village of Bottesford, his body draped across the altar of St. Mary's church in a perverse pose of pagan sacrifice, the Pope's Inquisitor General places the small hamlet in his sights.

"Young Eleanor has two men in her life: her uncle King Edward II, and her husband Hugh le Despenser, a mere knight but the newfound favorite of the king. She has no desire to meddle in royal affairs-- she wishes for a serene, simple life with her family. But as political unrest sweeps the land, Eleanor, sharply intelligent yet blindly naive, becomes the only woman each man can trust"--P. [4] of cover.

A defeated knight unable to pay the ransom to his captor must borrow, no matter how much he might hate the usurers who provide the service. But for Benjamin Dudenay -- to whom most of the knights in Devon are already indebted -- the tournament will yield no such riches. A month before the festivities begin, Benjamin...
