| Summary |
This book finds Saint Germain living in relative peace & prosperity in the village of Orgon in fourteenth-century France. That is, until the Plague comes to France, & Saint Germain must flee to avoid the scrutiny that could reveal his true nature. The Comte de Saint-Germain is living in relative peace and prosperity in the village of Orgon in fourteenth-century France. He has won a grudging acceptance from the local populace, who are uneasy with his strange and foreign ways but appreciative of his generosity. But a new threat has upset the precarious balance: Plague has come to France, and the people's fear turns to xenophobia. To avoid the scrutiny that could reveal his true nature, Saint-Germain must flee. However, his travels drive him deeper into the heart of the Black Death--and danger. |
