'Alice knows she shouldn't be here. She has been careful, watchful, deceitful even, to get to this point. But now the time has come, her heart is pounding with the enormity of her plan ...'
 
Alice Edwards is on her own and fighting for all she holds dear. In a time of deadly plague, hope lies in herbs and remedies. But sickness is not the only danger. 
 
Who is the mysterious child who has fallen under her care? And how can Alice tell friend from foe when the shadow of a murder is haunting her steps - and heartache awaits at every turn? 
 
A gripping mystery steeped in authentic historical detail, from the author of A Hazardous Game and Stolen Lives
