One is a baronet who worships her and is beginning to understand what that costs. She suspects him of poison. She has hidden a doctor behind the curtain to find out.Then the boulevards fall away.Marseille, and the Canebière at first light. A brig running east under full sail. And finally Cyprus, and the Caverns of the Plague - galleries floored with three hundred years of human dust, sealed over a dead prophet's treasure that four families have been quarrelling over since before any of them were born.
