About This Book

Two sisters become entangled in a cascade of slander, civic inquiries, and violent popular reaction that threatens their home and associates. Municipal authorities deliberate in the town hall while prisoners, arrests, and instruments of torture expose the harsh mechanics of justice; allies are detained and a betrothal alters social pressures. A decisive noblewoman interposes to protect the sisters from the mob and to escort them away, even as petitions, charitable acts, and competing loyalties among townspeople reveal fractures in community life and the uneasy interplay of honor, power, and public opinion.
