Mystery Historical
In the sequel to the critically acclaimed Plague
Land, we return to Somershill Manor, where an ominous
legend takes hold of hearts and minds as children begin to
disappear. Oswald de Lacy is growing up fast in his new position as
Lord of Somershill Manor. However, there is still the same
amount of work to be done in the farms and fields, and the
few people left to do it think they should be paid
more―something the King himself has forbidden. Just as anger begins to spread, the story of the Butcher
Bird takes flight. People claim to have witnessed a huge
creature in the skies. A new-born baby is found impaled on a
thorn bush. And then more children disappear. Convinced the
bird is just a superstitious rumor, Oswald must discover
what is really happening. He can expect no help from his
snobbish mother and his scheming sister Clemence, who is
determined to protect her own child, but happy to neglect
her step-daughters. From the plague-ruined villages of Kent to the
thief-infested streets of London and the luxurious
bedchamber of a bewitching lady, Oswald's journey is full of
danger, dark intrigue, and shocking revelations.
