From Publishers Weekly
Fans of Tarr’s historical fantasies will welcome this action-packed sequel to Devil’s Bargain (2002). Richard the Lion-Hearted’s reign is threatened by the return from the dead of Sinan, the Old Man of the Mountain. In the Holy Land, it’s no-holds-barred and full magic ahead when Richard’s half-sister, the druidess Sioned, confronts Sinan. After refusing to give back to Sinan the magical Seal of Solomon, which she stole from Sinan and used to kill him, Sioned steals back from Rome the supernaturally powerful sacred Ark, which the now-returned Jews employ to restore their ancient Temple while taking care not to harm the nearby Muslim Dome of the Rock. Jinns, demons and a host of other supernatural menaces enliven the proceedings.

Another beautifully researched, masterfully written historical fantasy from Tarr, a sequel to Devil's Bargain [BKL O 1 02], in which England's Richard the Lionheart strove to take Jerusalem in the name of Christendom. Now Jerusalem's king, Richard needs to go home when Queen Eleanor writes that she can no longer keep his brother Henry and his ambition to replace Richard "contained." Will the realm survive? For though Henry is no weakling, he isn't Richard. Meanwhile, Richard's illegitimate half sister, Sioned, recently married to an infidel sultan and possessed of the Fairy Sight of the ancient Welsh through one strand of her lineage and the devil's brood of Anjou through another, is hard pressed in her battles with evil sorcerer Sinan, who once endangered Richard's soul. As the queen of Aquitaine adds her strategizing to the plot, Tarr's compelling mixture of magic, myth, and history becomes a regular page-turner and reason to hope for a further sequel. Whitney Scott
