A woman has been found strangled outside a church. In her hand is a pouch containing money and a note bearing the words 'For masses for her soul'. The chief constable Martin Saldana confides in his friend, Diego Alatriste.
Still in danger from the enemies he made in his first adventure, Captain Alatriste is considering returning to Flanders where the war has just resumed. But first, his old friend Quevedo asks him for a favour. It seems that Alatriste's sword is required once more...
