THE SIXTH NIGHT

The year is 1317 and Europe is facing the worst famine it will ever have, every person still alive is struggling, barely managing to survive another hour of life. One of these people in particular is Mary, an orphaned sixteen-year-old peasant girl in Kings Langley, who watches her mother hang for murdering a piglet and his forced to marry an older man. A fate that forces her to go mad; self-harm, murder and cannibalise anyone who stands in her way.

The enforcer of her fate, is King Edward II, a failing and disappointing king with an ultimate aim to prove himself as the greatest king of England. Widely disliked, Edward continuously makes all the wrong decisions making the famine and his country worse as the days progress, upon the manipulation of his court and consorts striving for power and his demise.

A story of people struggling to survive in inhumane circumstances and failing miserably to do so in the process.
