Squire Simon, with trepidation, accompanies Lord Tirel on King William II's hunt. That Tirel's arrow killed the king is history; whether by accident or intent is unknown, and Cadnum sets up a plausible explanation while maintaining some ambiguity. Readers will be engaged by the author's unblinking honesty regarding the violence of eleventh-century life and by his propensity for swift-moving action.
