By April 1915, as chaplain Joseph Reavley will the soldiers in his care, the nightmare of trench warfare is impartially cutting down England’s youth. On one of his rescue forays into no-man’s-land, Joseph finds the body of arrogant war correspondent, Eldon Prentice. A nephew of the respected General Owen Cullingford, Prentice was despised for his prying attempts to elicit facts that would turn public thoughts and opinions contrary to the war. Most troublesome to Joseph, Prentice has been killed not by German fire but, apparently, by one of is own own compatriots. What Englishman hated Prentice enough to destroy him? Joseph is afraid he may know, and his sister, Judith, who's General Cullingford’s driver and translator, harbors her own fearful suspicions.Meanwhile, Joseph and Judith’s brother, Matthew, an intelligence officer in London, continues his quiet search for the sinister figure they call the Peacemaker, who, like Eldon Prentice, is wanting to undermine the general public support for the struggle—and, as the Reavley family has justification to believe, is in fact in the centre of a fantastic plot to reshape the entire world. A romantic of kings, the Peacemaker kills with impunity, and his dark shadow stretches from the peaceful country lanes of Cambridgeshire to the twin hells of Ypres and Gallipoli.
