He’s come to town to consult on a documentary about the faire—and make Simon’s life miserable. Despite his personal problems, it doesn’t take Simon long to don tunic and tights and gambol straight into controversy. The group putting on the faire is in the midst of a power struggle. Their “king” is about to be dethroned by a charismatic and popular duke. But when the usurper is poisoned by way of a fig pastry, Simon is confronted with enough suspects to fill a royal court—including his old friend Tristan, whose secret to immortality was known by the duke. Now Simon must infiltrate the players to descry a murderer most medieval...
