The diary of a wife who, with their five-year old daughter, accompanied her husband on a three-and-a-half year whaling voyage.
While her husband fights the Scots for King Henry VIII, Bianca Goddard earns her coin by concocting medicines that offer relief to London's sick. Some unfortunates, however, are beyond any remedies she can provide--like the boy discovered hanging from a church dripstone with a rosary twined around his neck.

The expected hour of the next murder is approaching, and a single misstep may mean another boy is lost forever...
