Oxford, 1275. Smallpox has placed the town under quarantine while unrest in Wales strains Edward I’s rule. Within the university, someone is stealing and destroying books judged blasphemous, and Falconer is asked to identify the culprit.

The thefts turn into murders as scholars are killed in ways that seem to fulfil the Prophecies of Merlin. With disease, scarcity and political fear encouraging superstition, Falconer must separate deliberate manipulation from prophecy before the killer reaches him.
