The tale begins in 1516, in the savage border region between Scotland and England. When a torso is found right on the frontier between the countries, it threatens to spark yet another war.
French diplomat, Antoine de Lissieu, is dragged in to investigate and reluctantly takes a band of men to the frontier. But he’s shunned by both sides of the divide and plagued by traumatic memories from his past.
As time runs out and the bodies mount up, can Antoine catch the culprits and prevent more carnage – or will his
own demons catch up with him? |
