Hi Cindy, Another for the series wish list.
We have several books in the series but not this one.
A Murderous Procession (Book#4 in Mistress of the Art of Death series
byarianna Franklin
Putnam
Adelia is back in this thrilling fourth installment of the Mistress of the Art
of
Death series
In 1176, King Henry II sends his ten-year-old daughter, Joanna, to Palermo to
marry
William II of Sicily. War on the Continent and outbreaks of plague make it an
especially
dangerous journey, so the king selects as his daughter’s companion the woman he
trusts
most: Adelia Aguilar, his mistress of the art of death. As a medical doctor and
native
of Sicily, it will be Adelia’s job to travel with the princess and safeguard her
health until the wedding.
Adelia wants to refuse—accompanying the royal procession means leaving behind
her
nine-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, Henry has arranged for the girl to live
at
court, both as a royal ward and as a hostage to ensure that Adelia will return
to
the king’s service. So Adelia sets off for a yearlong royal procession.
Accompanying
her on the journey are her Arab companion, Mansur, her lover, Rowley, and an
unusual
newcomer: the Irish sea captain O’Donnell, who may prove more useful to Adelia
than
Rowley would like.
But another man has joined the procession—a murderer bent on the worst kind of
revenge.
When people in the princess’s household begin to die, Adelia and Rowley suspect
that
the killer is hiding in plain sight. Is his intended victim the princess . . .
or
Adelia herself?
