by Andrew Caldecott (Author)
'Intricate and crisp, witty and solemn: a book with special and dangerous properties,' Hilary Mantel said of Rotherweird, the first book in the series; M.R. Carey called it 'Baroque, Byzantine and beautiful - not to mention bold'.
WELCOME BACK TO ROTHERWEIRD
For four hundred years, the town of Rotherweird has stood alone, made independent from the rest of England to protect a deadly secret.
But someone is playing a very long game. An intricate plot, centuries in the making, is on the move.
Everything points to one objective - the resurrection of Rotherweird's dark Elizabethan past - and to one date: the Winter Equinox.
