Description: "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 Wynters intricate plot, centuries in the making, is on the move. Everything points to one objective: the resurrection of Rotherweirds dark Elizabethan past - and to one date: the Winter Solstice"--Amazon.com.
