Paris, 1273. While Edward I travels towards his coronation, an assassin wounds him with a poisoned knife. Troubled by earlier deaths in his family, the king orders William Falconer—already in Paris to help Roger Bacon—to determine who is attacking the royal household.
The deaths of a student and another witness show that evidence is being systematically erased. Falconer investigates the university, friaries and royal entourage of medieval Paris, where disputes over Aristotle and church authority intersect with a conspiracy close to the throne.
