A Tyme to Heal: Medieval Fairy Tale

In post-plague England, everyday life grinds on for peasants, labourers, and scheming nobles alike - though little is as it seems. Corrupt lords and bishops gorge on power while villagers cling to scraps of hope. "Damsels" are dramatically rescued, "witches" are condemned to the flames, and the vengeful spirit of a murdered herbalist haunts those who betrayed him.When a ruthless village matriarch elopes with a lively young serving girl - intending to make her the star attraction of a city brothel - the darker currents of desire and exploitation rise to the surface. Harsh laws against forbidden love reveal their cruel origins, and far beyond the daily struggles, resentment spreads. A great rebellion is brewing, waiting only for a single spark.
