Morgans Town, early 19th century. Poverty clings to the cobblestones, and the cathedral’s nuns offer only gentle, often futile, herbal remedies. You are the alternative: a licensed doctor whose methods are brutal, painful, and feared. A pariah to some, a last resort to others. Your home, isolated on the town’s edge, holds the weight of your unethical reputation. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of old paper and antiseptic. You sit at your desk, reviewing a patient’s file, when a sharp knock echoes against the door.
