Publisher's Summary

Makoud, a middle-aged apothecary, has come to Málaga with his family to work. Shortly after they arrive, the khalifa Yahya I dies. Rumors say he was poisoned. Makoud is worried that the poison used by the assassins was bought from his shop. His son Umar, now a soldier in the khalifa’s army, decides to investigate - but he underestimates the power of the people behind the assassination and finds himself arrested and accused of murder. His father, family, and friends pool all their resources to try and help him, but the closer they get to the truth, the greater the danger they find themselves in. 

In the first novel in a new historical series set in Moorish Spain, Joan Fallon sets the action in the busy medieval port of Málaga. Following on from the successful al-Andalus series, we meet again with the younger members of the family who had escaped from the besieged city of Córdoba.
