Description
In 14th-century Northumberland, a small town is beset by turmoil. A castle contract has brought two apothecaries into the midst of civil war, with its attendant dangers and uncertainties. For Harry-the-Cough, one of these apothecaries, life is precarious indeed. Pursued by the law, jovial cutthroats, confused outlaws, and an assassin who cannot die, he finds himself in a desperate bid for survival. A suspected witch with a chequered past and a young woman with her own share of troubles join forces to save him from his pursuers. As they navigate this treacherous landscape, Harry must confront the darker aspects of human nature and the true meaning of loyalty and friendship. This is a tale of adventure, comedy, and dark fantasy, set against the rich historical backdrop of medieval England.
