Waters has created an order of swordswomen and scholars, governed by a rabbi, a priest and an imam. The novices form triads, one from each religion, that work and study together. Rosa had been apprenticed to her father, a master metalworker, until she felt a vocation and became a novice. Now, three years later, her mother has conspired with her father's other (less talented and less ethical) apprentice to use Rosa's six year old brother to lure her out of the convent and into marriage. She can't fail to save her brother, but she and her sisters see the trap waiting for them.
The plot is a little weak, but the characters and setting are interesting and the solution ingenious.
