This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, businesses, companies, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

CKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am intensely grateful to the staff at Penguin Random House for producing such beautiful books—and then persuading people to “try a bit of medieval.” If you have picked this up to read, or, for that matter, downloaded it, I thank you too. Much has changed. Much remains the same. Finally, I must mention my son Cameron, who came up with the title at the eleventh hour.
