And I'm in Thrace, in the savage winter of 1877/78, as the Russo/Turkish War reaches its climax. Victorious in Bulgaria, Russian forces are now thrusting towards Constantinople/Istanbul, refugees clog the roads, murderous Bashi Bazooks run riot and the Cossack patrols know no mercy. And that's without the intrigue at court...

I've gone to stay with my aunt in Iyot House in an unnamed hamlet. I've just met my cousin for the very first time and I'm finding her quite disturbing.
