Joanne Coyle: The Doctor, the Witch and the Rose Stone, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A gripping historical mystery with a hint of the supernatural. The Doctor, the Witch and the Rose Stone weaves a compelling tale of rumours, accusations and dreams against a background of witch trials and the plague in 1590s Scotland and France.

Scotland: For years midwife Agnes Sampson has delivered babies and tended the sick in North Berwick, until one day she is accused of witchcraft. Indicted for conspiring to murder King James VI, she is caught up in Scotland's deadly Burning Times. In a desperate fight for her life, she has to decide whether it is time to reveal the secret that's haunted her for decades.

France: Assen Verey is a young physician fresh from the prestigious 'Faculty of Medicine' in Paris. But as he steps out into the world, plague hits the city. Tangled in a web of death, alchemy and religion, he is guided in a dream to flee Paris and travel to the House of God in Beaune. What he discovers there obliterates everything he thought was true.

Two healers, two secrets. One to be revealed. The other to be discovered.
