The Chevaliere Meredith Sinclair learns a hard lesson about magick. The events she set in motion when she used the Mystery of the Wisdom of Solomon to find her daughter are still wreaking havoc on her 'Disciples'. The Order's Healer astounds his Brothers by playing a trick with deadly consequences on the unwitting Chevaliere and not only brings ruin upon his own head when the Mad Arab learns what he has done, he brings on the wrath of the Assassin by stealing her away from him. The Chevalier du Morte plots his own death as well as that of the Mad Arab and his lost love while trying to live up to his promise to help find the Golden Eagle's missing daughter.
