The Master of Measham Hall (Book 1)

1665: Its been five years since King Charles 11 returned to England after his exile in Europe. The scars of the English Civil Wars have yet to heal as the country battles the Great Plague. Alethea Hawthorne, a lady’s companion, is safe inside the walls of the Claverton household where she waits in anticipation for the day when she can return to Derbyshire and her ancestral home, Measham Hall. But when Alethea is suddenly cast out into London’s plague-ridden streets, the journey home will prove to be both difficult and dangerous as militias have closed off the streets to prevent contamination. Fortunately for Alethea, she meets Jack, an unlikely travelling companion, who takes her under his wing and helps her navigate a perilous new world of religious dissenters, charlatans, and pestilence.
