Description
Alexander Seaton's peaceful life as a university teacher is shattered by the arrival in town of a stranger who looks like him and carries a plea for help from his mother's family. A poet's curse, threatening death to various members, has been placed upon them, and elements of the curse have already begun to play out. As Seaton travels to Ulster to uncover the source of the curse, he becomes entangled in a conflict involving fugitive priests, displaced poets, rebellious plotters, and agents of the king. Murder within his own family forces him to confront the blurred lines between superstition and faith, duty and loyalty. His Scottish homeland grows increasingly remote as he delves deeper into the mystery. With secrets and deep resentments tearing the family apart, Seaton must navigate a complex web of loyalties and allegiances to uncover the truth behind the curse and save those he cares about.
