      Napínavý děj svého nového, v pořadí jedenáctého románu postavila autorka opět na prolínání dvou velmi vzdálených časových rovin - v historické se vrací o dvě tisíciletí zpět, do Británie osídlované Římany v dobách počátku křesťanství a jeho prvních kontaktů s vírou keltských druidů. Současná hrdinka Abi Ruthefordová, vikářka anglikánské církve, musí hned ve svém prvním působišti na farnosti v Cambridgi čelit předsudkům nejen pro své mládí a vzhled, ale hlavně pro své neobvyklé léčitelské a vizionářské schopnosti. Její útěk do Glastonbury, posvátného kraje plného tajemství, kde podle legend měl pobývat i Ježíš, oživí dávný příběh lásky, zrady a pomsty, a zároveň pomůže pronásledované hrdince překonat složité životní nástrahy.
