A grimdark his-fic novella set during the times of Black Death in England. Features characters from The Company of Liars and pitches them against a band of robbers.
Atmospheric, dark, historically honest. Works well as a taster if you (like me) are trying to decide whether to pick up one of the author’s lengthier novels.
Overall very curious short read. But I am still a bit ‘on a fence’ if i want more now or not. 3.5 ⭐️

I loved going back to "Company of Liars" with this short story! It just made me realize again how much I loved and still love that book!
The short story is wonderfully written, I loved the new characters introduced and most of all, the setting, the atmosphere, the magic and superstition of the time interwoven with the story: PERFECT!
Thank you, Karen Maitland, for letting us return to the Company for even just a short time!
