Born at the end of the nineteenth century, David Mendy comes
from the upper Thames valley in England, a place haunted by
memories and customs thousands of years old. These include the
"good man's croft," an untilled patch reserved for the land's
spirit and rumored to have been the site of child sacrifice.
David's family legend also includes ties to stone ruins next to the
local good man's croft. But as a lad, he is warned to stay away
from the area-that it was to be left to the devil.
David later goes to medical school, where he meets and marries
Maud Millen, a shopkeeper's daughter-and then the world descends
into chaos as the Great War begins. While serving in the Royal Army
Medical Corps in France, David suspects his wife's affections may
be torn between him and Peter Landrum, heir to the land that
includes the good man's croft and David's nemesis since their
school days.
But Landrum has another secret that he will kill to protect, and
when David returns home, more than just his marriage is at stake.
Evil has once again come to the good man's croft and though David
may have survived the war to end all wars, it's uncertain whether
he'll survive Landrum.
