PURPLE TREASON
By Ethan Ross
1348. As the Black Death begins its silent march across Europe, a kingdom stands on the precipice of collapse. In the remote, snow-bound Abbey of Saint Jude's, a man with a soldier's past and a forged identity seeks sanctuary. But Elian soon discovers the monks are not just copying scripture-they are brewing a forbidden royal-purple ink, the ancient symbol of power.
This is the ink of emperors, being used to manufacture a conspiracy of high treason that could cripple England's last defenses. When a monk is brutally murdered for knowing too much, Elian inherits his desk-and a secret that could cost him his life.
Caught between a ruthless Abbot, a corrupt Inquisitor, and the arrival of the Great Mortality inside the abbey walls, Elian must navigate a labyrinth of bone-filled crypts and freezing belfries. The only evidence of the conspiracy is a single, blood-stained ledger, a book that every side is willing to kill for.
In a world where law has died and the plague is the only judge, the ink becomes blood, and the parchment becomes bone. The only truth left is the one written by the hand of a survivor.
