Description
In 1361, the devastating plague returns to England, thirteen years after the Black Death. As destruction advances towards his estate in Kent, Oswald de Lacy leads his family to safety in a remote castle in the marshes. There, he finds himself trapped with others who must survive the coming disaster. A murderer strikes, and Oswald is faced with a stark choice: leave and face the ravages of the plague, or stay and risk placing his family at the mercy of a brutal killer. With word of his skills as an investigator preceding him, it falls to Oswald to unmask the murderer in their midst. In this poisoned refuge of secrets, deceit, and malice, everyone is a suspect. Host, guest, or servant - no one is immune to suspicion. As Oswald navigates the treacherous landscape, he must confront his own demons and make impossible choices to protect those he loves.
