St Dunstan and the Devil

In the twilight of Saxon England, where the Sussex hills cradle the village of Mayfield, a forge burns bright against the gathering dark, tended by St Dunstan, a man whose faith is as unyielding as the iron he shapes. Once whispered to wield occult powers, now a beacon of Christian piety, Dunstan labours to spread the gospel, unaware that the Devil, cloaked in beauty and cunning, watches from the shadows. On a night when the air hums with unseen forces, a single encounter at the anvil will spark a legend, etching Dunstan’s name—and a pair of humble tongs—into the annals of heaven’s war with hell.
