It is the Summer of 1323 and Sir Baldwin Furnshill and Bailiff Simon Puttock are returning home from their pilgrimage to Galicia. Their ship is attacked off the coast of Brittany and, to Simon's horror, Baldwin is swept overboard.
Washed ashore on the island of Ennor, Simon is distraught at the loss of his friend, but he has to put aside his grief when the master of the castle, Ranulph de Blancminster, demands that he investigate the murder of the local tax collector. Ranulph is convinced that the culprit is from the neighbouring island of St Nicholas and demands retribution. The mystery deepens when Baldwin's sword is found on the shore and identified as the murder weapon.
As Simon searches for the murderer, and for news of Baldwin, he becomes embroiled in the bitter rivalry between the two island communities. Can he uncover the truth in time to prevent further bloodshed? And will he ever see Baldwin again?
