Description

Peter Pentecost, a rumour of royal blood, Henry VIII’s England that cannot sleep. Buchan’s Blanket of the Dark, unabridged English, is Tudor night as a thriller — wet woods, prophecy, the old faith against the new crown, rebellion under a sky that will not light. A scholar with a dangerous paper, the dark as cover and creed. Listen to a kingdom choosing its morning too late. Historical chase in a Reformation fog, blood as a rumour, woods as a cause.
