#83

Finished a novel by Ariana Franklin titled "Grave Goods." It was a sequel to another novel that I've read by her and I'd forgotten about it. It took a while for me to get into the story but in the end it was okay. Set in the late 1100's, it sent the heroine on a mission by Henry II to find out if the bodies discovered at a monastary were that of King Arthur. Henry hopes the bones are Arthur's so he can put down the Celtic rebellion for good. The heroine is Adelia Aguilar and she's the Mistress of Death. Trained by her father in medicine; she has to hide her abilities and pretend to be the assistant of an mid eastern companion. She not only proves the skeleton to not be Arthur but finds the answer to numerous mysteries.
