But Tabitha''s happiness is shaken when a girl is slaughtered beneath the Mondrem Oak on the family''s forest estate. Recognizing the victim from her former scandalous life, Tabitha vows to find the killer.

      Nearby, enigmatic Baptist Gunn and his followers are convinced that a second messiah will be born, amid blood and strife, close to the oak on Midsummer''s Day. Could the girl''s murder be linked to Gunn''s cryptic prophecy? Do his wild claims of a second saviour spell danger for Tabitha and her unborn child?

      As Midsummer''s Day draws closer, Tabitha soon learns the destiny that threatens her and those she holds most dear...
