The Wardens of Old London Bridge: Cromwell’s Prophecy

London, 1537. Old London Bridge is no mere crossing. It is a crowded world of timber, trade, and secrets—home to more than a thousand souls above the restless Thames. And nothing that happens upon it is ever by chance. Magic is hungry.And London is feeding it. When Matt, a baker newly arrived from Yorkshire, finds a bag in his cart that isn’t his, he makes a simple, fatal mistake— He opens it. Inside is something no man should be carrying. Now hunted by forces he cannot understand, Matt is drawn into a hidden struggle beneath the city’s skin—one shaped by unseen rules, ancient powers, and a bridge that may already have chosen him. A healer who pays for every life she saves.A thief who always leaves more than he takes.An innkeeper whose secret will outlive everyone. And above them all, in the shadow of power, men like Thomas Cromwell are already watching. Some bridges are built to be crossed.Others are meant to be guarded.
