England, 1348. People are dying. Serfs and lords attribute the Black Plague to God’s punishment, but Lady Anne of Develish knows better. Educated by nuns with an understanding of medicine, she decides to save her people by isolating all of them in her house, a moat forbidding entry to others. This historical narrative is bursting with tension – restricted by class, people speak in veiled language, and engage in duels of bluffing and lies. In this game it is easy to pick sides: cruel and selfish characters are pitted against the intelligent, kind and just. And the threats of dark secrets and danger lurk like a wolf. Known for her taut and gripping crime fiction, Walters here delivers suspenseful historical fiction about a heroine battling against a cruel world.
