It is more than thirty years since plague took Matty Cutler's parents and siblings. His life has been rich but hard. He is no longer a young man and is feeling the effects of the battles he has faced over the years, some for king and country but many more of a personal nature. He is tired and his health is beginning to fail. But he has one more challenge he must face. His wife and children are missing. He must find them. His search takes him to the marshlands of southern England. It also leads him into new dangers. Matty's daughter Edwina is his companion. She can see he is unwell and seeks advice from a young woman, an anchoress said to have the power of divination. But what the anchoress tells her only heightens Edwina's anxieties for her father. In Florence, Edwina's friend Ishraq is pursuing a quest of his own, to find information about his birth family and to discover why he was sold into slavery as a child. Two separate quests, destined to come together in an epic, bloody climax, under a waning moon.
