Summary

During the harsh winter of 1381 murder stalks the streets of London in all its grisly forms. Westminster Abbey, which houses the sacred Stone of Scone, is plagued by a series of hideous poisonings. Could there be a connection between these violent deaths and the stone, which the English crown cherishes as a symbol of its rule over Scotland?
