Black Shuck 1577

Description

In 1577 England, Abraham Fleming, a disgraced Cambridge scholar, travels to the fog-shrouded village of Bungay to prove the existence of a mythological beast known as the Black Shuck. He collides with Edward Tanner, a cynical spy for the Crown, Samuel, a haunted member of a secret order, and Briony, a healer shunned for witchcraft, who are investigating the same string of brutal, seemingly supernatural killings. As they uncover a conspiracy involving a fanatical cult, they are forced to confront not only the monstrous hound but the shared trauma that binds them to it, culminating in a desperate bargain that unleashes an even older, more dangerous power upon the world.
