The Latin inscription carved on the gleaming blade read “He who lives in falsehood slays his soul; he who lies, his honor.” Only if they had known how true those words would prove to be. The Sword of Shame was lovingly crafted by way of a Saxon swordsmith shortly before the Norman invasion, and its own constant companions are treachery and deceit. Through the Norman Conquest of 1066, with an election-rigging scandal in 13th-century Venice, to the bloody battlefield of Poitiers in 1356—in the centre of each treasonous plot, every murder and betrayal, is the malign influence of the cursed sword. And as it passes from owner to owner, ill-fortune and disgrace befall all who wield the deadly blade. The Medieval Murders are Philip Gooden; Susanna Gregory, writer of the Matthew Bartholomew series; Michael Jecks, writer of the Templar series; Bernard Knight, writer of the Crowner John series; and Ian Morson, writer of the Falconer mystery series.
