The House of the Red Death
That is where we are now —deep in the dungeon room. Once upon a time it was a Hudson Bay post, abandoned almost since I can remember. When I was a child the smallpox plague tore through this way and killed all the people in its path. Nineteen years ago the red plague came again, and again, not one person lived through it in this Poste de Mort Rouge.

Fire in the Mist
Raised in the backcountry, Faia Rissedote wants nothing more than her sheep, her childhood hills, and her freedom, but when a plague paralyzes her village, she knows she must act fast.
In 1347, Europe was hit by the worst natural disaster in its recorded history: the Black Death. Now believed to be a combination of bubonic plague and two other rarer plague strains, the Black Death ravaged the continent for several terrible years before finally fading away in 1352.
