From the bestselling author of The Plague Tales comes a spellbinding new novel that sweeps from medieval France to America in the year 2007 -- interweaving two gripping stories and two extraordinary eras...
In fourteenth-century France, pockets of plague still bring death to peasants and noblemen alike. Amid the fury and the chaos, Dr. Alejandro Canches searches for a safe haven, accompanied by his foster child, Kate -- the illegitimate daughter of Edward Plantagenet. But both disease and human enemies pursue them, and their only hope for survival is a rebel leader... and medical secrets that lie hidden in an ancient manuscript.
