In "Love, Weddings & Death" the Andruszkowicz family living abroad must deal with the impending plague of the Black Death. In Scotland the young adults are sent south to escape the pestilence by sea and suffer the horrors of being shipwrecked. An old adversary from generations ago seeks out the family to extract revenge and murders one of the families. At home in Poland, an elder family member, Sebastian V, is called upon by King Kazimierz III to devise a plan to keep the plague from entering the realm. Sebastian employs the quick minded and intelligent Jacob Shanken, a Jew, to help in the development of the first quarantine camps to monitor the refugees wanting to escape into Poland from their own plague stricken countries. The reader will learn how the country of Poland was the first in Europe to allow the Jews to settle and own property and to become citizens. There is a reunion with the Pomeranian family and the families in Poland. The family makes an alliance with the Duchy of Lithuania against the King Louis' wishes. Battles against the Teutonic Order, duels, intrigues and great romances abound in "Love, Weddings, & Death".
