Description
The new medieval thriller from Queen of the Dark Ages Karen Maitland, set on the wilds of Dartmoor.
A brilliant writer, with a real sense of history
Recommended both as a historical novel that shines a light on the harsh conditions endured by ordinary people in the 14th century, and also as a very well-crafted piece of folk horror
Maitland excels at creating twists and turns, presenting conflicting viewpoints and unexpected outcomes
[Maitland's] trademark blend of history, fiction and supernatural is at its electrifying best
