Great read. surprised to see no reviews yet. I always loved stories about the Middle Ages. this one is about the young man Creb, who has to flee his village being accused as a ' witchlover' and he travels the country struck by the pest together with his fragile companion, the stewards son. And they meet up with lots of encounters and adventure in the road, trying to understand a map that Creb had found. Enjoyed this one.
