Plague-widow Alice atte Wode is desperate to find
her missing daughter, but her neighbours are rebelling against their masters
and their mutiny is hindering the search.
June
1349. In a Hampshire village, the worst plague in England’s history has wiped out half its population,
including Alice atte Wode’s husband and eldest son. The plague arrived
only days after Alice’s daughter Agnes mysteriously disappeared and it
prevented the search for her.
Now
the plague is over, the village is trying to return to normal life, but it’s
hard, with so much to do and so few left to do it. Conflict is growing between
the manor and its tenants, as the workers realise their very scarceness means
they’re more valuable than before: they can demand higher wages, take on spare
land, have a better life. This is the chance they’ve all been waiting for!
Although
she understands their demands, Alice is disheartened that the search for
Agnes is once more put on hold. But when one of the rebels is killed, and then
the lord's son is found murdered, it seems the two deaths may be connected,
both to each other and to Agnes's disappearance.
