Isaac learns that the man was going to purchase what he thought was the fabled Holy Grail. Superstition surrounding the ancient chalice throws the city into near-chaos--and incites the greed of wealthy and powerful men desperate to make the relic their own. Against the wishes of His Excellency, the Bishop Berenguer, Isaac seeks out the murderer--and uncovers much more than meets the eye...
