Epiphany, 1193: The road out of Winchester
was hidden by snow, and Justin de Quincy was making slow progress when he
heard the first faint shout. It came again, louder and clearer, a cry for
help. Spurring his stallion, de Quincy raced toward the source. But he was
already too late. As the two assailants fled, de Quincy cradled the dying
man, trying to make out his whispered words, "They did not get it," he
rasped. "Promise me. You must deliver this letter to her. To the queen."
Eleanor of Aquitaine sits upon England's throne. At seventy, she has
outlived the husband who once imprisoned her. But has she also outlived her
much-loved eldest son, Richard Lionheart, England's king--missing these past
two months? Only Eleanor's fierce will can keep her youngest son, John, from
seizing the crown. Only a letter, spattered with the blood of a dying man
murdered on the Winchester road, can tell her if Richard still lives.
