Set in 1468, The Second Sleep follows Christopher Fairfax, a young priest who arrives in a remote English village to conduct a funeral and finds the surrounding land scattered with coins, glass and bones. The discoveries force him to question the official account of the past and the life of his predecessor.
The narrative moves between investigative mystery and speculative cautionary tale, exploring how memory, faith and recorded history shape a community. The atmosphere is quietly unsettling, with careful period detail and an undercurrent of moral inquiry.
Readers who appreciate layered mysteries, medieval settings and thought-provoking worldbuilding will find much to consider here — a story about how societies bury, remember and remake their histories.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
The book was in excellent condition and it arrived in approximately 5 days, much sooner than I had expected. I would definitely recommend this vendor.
