IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 1190, the city of York turned on itself. Eight hundred years later, Dr. Wolf finds himself embroiled in a desperate struggle to heal the fear and guilt brought over by his patients from this time of betrayal and mass murder. Using his gift for seeing past lives, he must find all the players in this forlorn tragedy and piece together events that unfolded at the time of King Richard's first crusade. He must find the truth of what happened in the city of York's darkest hour, a time of avarice and bitter hatred, a time when the city's church and nobility united in a genocidal attack on a defenceless people.
