Ireland, AD 671. King Colg of Cashel is shocked to learn that his loyal Chief Bishop and advisor has been murdered in the old enemy fortress of the U Fidgente. When word reaches Cashel that the culprit will be executed under new law, a larger conflict threatens.

Dispatched to investigate, Sister Fidelma and her companion Eadulf discover that the man facing punishment is Gorm n - commander of the King's bodyguard. But Fidelma cannot believe Gorm n would carry out such an act - and yet he was found locked in a chamber with the body, weapon in hand. The evidence is stacked against him.

If they are to save Gorm n and keep the peace between the kingdoms, Fidelma and Eadulf must find the true culprit. As the threat of war looms, the date of execution draws ever closer . . .
