Summary

In a time of chaos choosing the right side is impossible.

1491-2: Granada, Andalusia: In a land ravaged by willful destruction, Thomas Berrington tries to serve Queen Isabel as best he can. When an attempt is made on her life, only Thomas can save the life of her companion. The assassin doesn’t care who they hurt in their quest to change the conflict that is coming to a conclusion.

Alongside his companions, Thomas tracks down the culprit only to discover someone else lies behind their actions. For Thomas, Jorge, and the others life has grown complex. The end of the 700-year presence of the Moors in Spain. Thomas’s growing conflict over choosing the right woman to share his life with. The death of old lovers and friends. Not to mention a party of Ottoman Turks whose presence spreads confusion.

Through all of this chaos, Thomas tries to do what is right, what is just. Except sometimes the right kind of justice is hard to find.

very enjoyable historical mystery

this completes the Spanish Thomas Berrington saga well, a satisfactory ending. I await with anticipation for the next series of Thomas mysteries. Moving into that most treacherous times of the Tudors, can't wait.
