Mythical King Bladud builds a shrine to ancient Bath's healing waters; architect's apprentice Zac is blackmailed into sabotaging the construction of the King's Circus in eighteenth-century Bath; teenager Sulis is in witness protection in modern-day Bath because of a mysterious murder. Though the three stories don't form a satisfying whole, Fisher adeptly uses apt symbolism and oblique connections to eerie effect.
