When the wise woman Magda Digby is suspected of murder, Owen Archer
sets out to prove her innocence in this intricately plotted
medieval mystery. May, 1375. Owen Archer returns from London to
find York in chaos. While the citizens are living in terror of the
pestilence which is spreading throughout the land, a new physician
has arrived, whipping up fear and suspicion against traditional
healers and midwives. With the backing of the new archbishop, he is
especially hostile towards Magda Digby, the wise woman who has
helped and healed the people of York for many years. At the same
time, Magda is uneasy about the arrival of two long-lost kinsfolk.
Though they say they are seeking her help, she senses a hidden
agenda. Magda's troubles deepen when she discovers a body in the
river near her home - and finds herself under suspicion of murder.
Days later, fire rips through a warehouse in the city. Amongst the
charred debris lies the body of a man - not burned, but stabbed in
the back. Could there be a connection to the corpse in the river?
Determined to prove Magda's innocence, Owen sets out to find
answers - but the more he uncovers, the deeper the mystery becomes
. . .
