London Bridge is burning on both ends, crammed with matchstick houses and over 3,000 people who live and work there, none of whom can swim. Trapped in the whirling smoke is Nick Gauntlet, a disgraced ex-knight on a mission, and that's just the latest of his problems. Disgraced and landless, Nick gets by taking bow-for-hire jobs from the highest bidder. That's why he has Mathilde FitzWalter in tow, the daughter of a rich and powerful English lord. Her father hired Nick to bring her home, because Mathilde's been sleeping with King John. She thinks she loves the guy.Catch is, Mathilde has a secret leads all the way to Westminster. Now Nick has a dilemma: take her back to her father and earn his pay, or gamble on helping Mathilde deliver her message to the king in the hopes of getting his land and title back. A king Nick-and the rest of the country-despises. The ethical mire's thick as tar, but none of it'll matter if Nick and Mathilde can't cross the Thames alive!
