About This Book

A historical tale of domestic and political intrigue follows a young woman entangled in accusations and social suspicion while a visiting physician and other household figures confront wounds, delirium, and violent outbursts. The narrative moves between a flawed judicial episode, tense bedside scenes in which injured individuals are treated and restrained, and explosive confrontations among hosts and guests. Themes of honor, personal agency, reputation, and the clash between public appearance and private reality drive episodes of rescue, moral testing, and shifting loyalties.
