Summary

AD1399. 
One small town in Northumberland. 
One castle contract. Two apothecaries. 
Civil war is brewing. Usurpation, rebellion, betrayal, even black magic; these are hard times for the English people. Harder yet for near-destitute apothecary, Harry-the-Cough. Fleeing persecution and trumped-up murder charges, Harry is hunted by the law, jovial cutthroats, confused outlaws and an assassin who cannot die. When a suspected witch with a chequered past and a girl with a chequered present risk life and limb to save him, he is too busy running for his life to question why. 
"A rollicking, puntastic adventure in a fabulous faux medieval Northumberland." Edoardo Albert 
"Cutting as Black Adder, irreverent as Python. Brilliant!" The Tumbleweed 
"Heart-warming and pants-wettingly funny!" Wordz 
From the author of the popular New World Series.
