The Midnight Queen

London in 1665 is a city cloaked in death, its streets lined with pest‑carts and the red cross of the fallen. The plague has turned once‑busy markets into silent graves, while the few who remain cling to wild revelry as if daring death itself to arrive. Even the great cathedral of St. Paul is poised to become a massive infirmary, and the air hums with the clatter of watchmen and the cries of cart drivers hauling the dead. It is a world where fear and frenzy walk side by side, and every shadow seems to hide a new horror.

Amid this chaos a figure known only as the Sorceress emerges, whispered about in taverns and feared by the watch. A young court page becomes entangled in her enigmatic presence, drawn into secret gatherings and cryptic rituals that promise either salvation or ruin. As rumors swirl and danger looms, listeners are pulled into a tangled web of mystery, where every masked face may conceal a deeper plot waiting to unfold.
