Description
In Georgian England, a strange, suffocating fog descends over Oxfordshire, bringing terror, illness, and the belief that the Devil has come among the villagers. When a father is accused of brutally murdering his own children, pioneering physician Dr. Thomas Silkstone is drawn into an investigation that challenges both his medical expertise and the community’s superstitions. At a troubled estate, he must also help the enigmatic Lady Lydia Farrell uncover the truth about her missing child while confronting threats hidden beneath the natural disaster. Blending historical mystery, atmospheric suspense, and early scientific inquiry, the novel explores the uneasy boundary between reason and belief.
