Alethea Hawthorne is safe inside the walls of the Calverton household as a lady' s companion, awaiting the day when she can return to her ancestral home of Measham Hall. But when Alethea suddenly finds herself cast out on the plague-ridden streets of London, a long road to Derbyshire lies ahead. She must return to rule the manor until her brother' s return, or else find a way to claim it as her own. . . Then fortune smiles when Jack appears, an unlikely travelling companion who helps young, determined Alethea to navigate a perilous new world of militias, religious dissenters, charlatans, and a pestilence that afflicts peasants and lords alike.
