Official synopsis Publisher
South West England, AD 1642 Even in this remote corner of the kingdom news of events taking place far away creates a climate of fear and suspicion. Superstition and ignorance fuel the fires of intolerance and treachery, and inevitably the violence engulfing the rest of the country erupts in the sleepy little port of Polpipit. Orphaned apprentice baker, Rufus Miller, struggling to master his craft and the target of bullying by the town’s other apprentices, longs to make a favourable impression on pretty scullery maid, Grace Trevorrow, but circumstances conspire against him. A chance encounter with fugitive faerie, Sprog, and the unexpected arrival of fanatical witch-hunter, Nathaniel Busshe, jeopardise Rufus’ very existence, embroiling him in a very uncivil war…
