It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur – the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe’s population was destroyed.
- What if the plague killed 99 percent of the population instead?
- How would the world have changed?
This is a look at the history that could have been: a history that stretches across centuries.
The novel that sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation.
These are the years of rice and salt.
