About This Book

A violent storm drives a large ship ashore and local fishermen rescue a near‑drowned young woman, who is brought to an old coastal castle where a high‑born patient lies gravely ill. Physicians and household stewards debate the chances of recovery and the political importance of the noblewoman's fate, while the rescued stranger, speaking unfamiliar words and weakened by exposure, raises questions about her origin. Parallels between the two women's conditions, the uncertainty of identity, and the tension between humane care and social calculation frame ensuing dilemmas and quiet intrigues.
