Preface

On the night of the Winter Solstice in an ancient inn on the Thames, the locals are telling stories when the door bursts open and a badly injured man comes in with the corpse of a little girl in his arms.

Many hours later, the dead girl returns to life.

Afterwards everyone has many questions. Was it a miracle or magic? Who is the little girl? And how did she end up in the river?
