Official synopsis Publisher
Welcome back to Rotherweird, where an ancient plot centuries in the making is about to come to fruition – and this time the forces of darkness might actually win . . .
“Intricate and crisp, witty and solemn. Line by line, silent and adroit, it opens a series of trap-doors in the reader’s imagination” –Hilary Mantel, Man Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall
The town of Rotherweird has been independent from the rest of England for four hundred years, to protect a deadly secret.
Sir Veronal Slickstone is dead, his bid to exploit that secret consigned to dust, leaving Rotherweird to resume its abnormal normality after the travails of the summer . . . but someone is playing a very long game.
Disturbing omens multiply: a funeral delivers a cryptic warning; an ancient portrait speaks; the Herald disappears – and democracy threatens the uneasy covenant between town and countryside.
Geryon Wynter’s intricate plot, centuries in the making, is on the move.
Everything points to one objective: the resurrection of Rotherweird’s dark Elizabethan past – and to one date: the Winter Solstice.
Wynter is coming . . .
