Publisher's Synopsis
In 1642, the lives of millions will spiral out of control as England descends into a bloody civil war. Amidst the violence, some fight for power, others seize opportunity, but many are caught in a whirlwind of fear and suffering.
Mary Sudburn, an ordinary young woman living in the small Oxfordshire village of Thame, finds herself flung into the conflict by her husband's mysterious disappearance. In her search for answers she is forced to confront, not only a personal tragedy, but a regiment tormented by sinister forces. What begins as a struggle between king and parliament soon reveals a far more disturbing truth, one that threatens not just soldiers and civilians, but the very fabric of reality. And as the true cause of the violence begins to emerge, the horrors of war may pale in comparison.
