But when he reaches Winchester, Rafi finds himself in
a turbulent world full of long-held allegiances, secrets and treachery. His
path is fraught with danger and with powerful enemies working against him, Rafi
falls in love with Edith, a market apothecary. But in doing so, Rafi unleashes
a deadly chain of events which threatens to overwhelm them both…

Jane Loftus gained a degree in 16th Century European
and British history from Surrey before taking a postgraduate degree in modern
political history. As a lone parent, she worked in Winchester Waterstones
before returning to IT once her son was older.
Hugely passionate about the Middle Ages, she drew
inspiration for this novel from the medieval layout of Winchester, which has
been painstakingly documented.
Jane is originally from London but has lived in
Winchester for over twenty years. When not writing, she is usually out walking
or watching costume dramas on Netflix - the more medieval the better. She also
plays far too many RPGs.
