Forged in the Fire by Ann Turnbull (author)

England, 1665. Will and Susanna, separated for three years, are at last free to marry. But Will’s plans to leave London are overtaken by the spread of the plague, which traps him in the city. So a determined Susanna leaves Shropshire and goes in search of him. Soon, with the plague raging and the scent of smoke upon the wind, both are caught up in events that will test their faith and courage to the limit, changing their lives – and those of all Londoners – forever.
