From Booklist
Newman's intrepid, twelfth-century French woman of reason, Catherine LeVendeur, is with her brother when their family is summoned to the castle of her aged grandfather. The well is running dry, and according to legend, if the well runs dry, all the branches of the family will die. Catherine does not believe in pagan tales; however, it seems that misfortune does stalk her extended family as people are murdered and a lord is threatening to besiege the castle. As others wait for some mythical antecedent to save them, Catherine looks for a contemporary explanation for the mishaps and mayhem. But it seems as though even the castle is against her finding a solution with its many passages and secret entrances, although it does eventually lead her to the solution with the help of a witch of a relative. Once again Newman provides her audience with a multifaceted jewel of a historical mystery that is filled with fascinating details that bring the twelfth century to life. Patty Engelmann
