England, 1321. The tiny village of Ulewic teeters between survival and destruction, faith and doubt, God and demons. Shadowing the villagers' lives are men cloaked in masks and secrecy, ruling with violence, intimidation, and terrifying fiery rites: the Owl Masters. When the daughter of Ulewic's most powerful man is accepted into a beguinage, battle lines are drawn.
