She is awake.
Norfolk,1643. With civil war tearing England apart,reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater is summoned home by his sister,who accuses a new servant of improper conduct with their widowed father.
By the time Thomas returns home,his father is insensible,felled by a stroke,and their new servant is in prison,facing charges of witchcraft. Thomas prides himself on being a rational,modern man,but as he unravels the mystery of what has happened,he uncovers not a tale of superstition but something dark and ancient,linked to a shipwreck years before.
Something has awoken in England,and now it will not rest...
