Into O'Dare's nightmarish world of lone and lethal missions comes a mysterious stranger, a seraph, who offers him a chance to save rather than destroy lives. O'Dare, who long ago dreamt of
being a priest but instead came to embody danger and violence, seizes his chance. Now he is carried back through the ages to thirteenth-century England, to dark realms where accusations of
ritual murder have been made against Jews, where children suddenly die or disappear... In this primitive setting, O'Dare begins his perilous quest for salvation, a journey of danger and flight,
loyalty and betrayal, selflessness and love.
