Description
In 14th-century England, a disgraced priest flees his diocese and joins a troupe of traveling actors, seeking refuge and a new purpose. When they arrive in a new village, they are drawn into a dark mystery surrounding a recent murder, a crime that mirrors the very themes of sin and redemption they are preparing to perform. As the actors delve deeper into the community's secrets, they uncover a web of corruption reaching from the lowest villagers to the highest echelons of nobility and the church. This gripping novel offers an unflinching examination of power, faith, and the enduring struggle between good and evil, all told with Unsworth's signature sharp prose and historical insight.
