It's a case of every man for himself, whatever his status or wealth. But in a world where thing can be taken at face value, who can you trust? The dour wool merchant? His impulsive son?

And when people start dying unnatural deaths and the peasants decide it's time to fight back, it's all too easy to spy witchcraft at every turn.
