Where friend and foe are hard to tell apart, few are truly who they seem and all have something to hide. Who is the poisoner at Clairets Abbey? Where is the sacred papyrus to be found? And what is the link to the Vatican and the King of France? 'Five women, in the centre the sixth' are the enigmatic words foretelling Agnes's destiny. But as events come to a head, will she continue to live simply as a woman of her time or fulfil the role that has been prophesied?
