September 1613. In Belvoir Castle, the heir of one of Englandâs great noble families falls suddenly and dangerously ill. His body is âtormentedâ with violent convulsions. Within a few short weeks he will suffer an excruciating death. Soon the whole family will be stricken with the same terrifying symptoms. The second son, the last male of the line, will not survive.
