Times on THE PLAGUE CHARMER

1316\. On the wilds of Dartmoor stands the isolated Priory of St Mary, home to
the Sisters of the Knights of St John. People journey from afar in search of
healing at the holy well that lies beneath its chapel.

But the locals believe Dartmoor was theirs long before Christianity came to
the land. And not all who visit seek miracles. When three strangers reach the
moor, fear begins to stir as the well's waters run with blood.

What witchcraft have the young woman, the Knight of St John and the blind
child brought with them?

The Sisters will need to fight for everything they hold dear as the ghosts of
the Old World gather in their midst.
