But while they are in the abbey pleading their case, a gruesome murder takes place - a monk is killed in the librarium and a cryptic subject matter written on the wall in his blood vessels. In the wake of the murder, Folqissues an ultimatum to Theophilos. If he learns the meaning of the subject matter and sees the killer, Folq willhelp the Guild.But if the Jester fails, Folq will have the pope declare the Guild anathema. With the future of the Guild at risk, Theophilos, his partner, and their apprentice set off searching for Folquet's past and the meaning of the subject matter, uncovering a long-ago group of events that were as fatal then because they are proving to be now.
