Paranormal | Romance
Maeb Langtofte is lucky to have a position in the household
of the Earl of Pengraic—one of the most powerful men in
England, whose holdings rival King Edmond's. She is lucky
that his wife, Adelie, whom Maeb serves, is kind and pious
(unlike the Earl, whom Maeb finds dark and secretive). But
when word arrives that a plague is sweeping through Europe
like a human wildfire, everyone in the Earl's household is
put on edge. It is whispered that victims of this plague are
spontaneously engulfed in flames—as if the flames of Hell
had suddenly leapt up to claim them and the Devil himself is
to blame. As the disease spreads into England, so too does civil
unrest. King Edmond calls his lords and their armies to
return to London, and the Earl obeys, leaving Maeb and his
family unprotected. It turns out that the Earl has been
hiding more than state secrets, and that his family is at
risk of losing not only their lives but also their souls. To
her horror, Maeb will learn that the Devil himself may have
arrived on her doorstep. And worse, what he demands may be
running through her very veins.
