Kiera and Gage are frustrated with the lack of progress in the investigation but when masked men threaten them and another nun is found murdered, the threat strikes even closer to the newlyweds. The local constabulary isn’t totally honest about their loyalties or their knowledge of the crime the nuns at the abbey and some of their day school students are reticent to confide in Gage and Kiera and the political and religious conflict between the Ribbonmen and Orangemen is boiling just under the surface. When they arrive at Lorreto Abbey, the identity of the killer seems elusive, and many factors interfere with their ability to find out the truth. Kiera and Gage, along with their servants Bree and Anderley, travel across the rough waters, and along the way, they run into an old acquaintance. Not appreciating his father’s high-handedness, Kiera and Gage reluctantly agree to make the journey to Ireland partly because of the heinous nature of the crime and partly due to the fact that the murdered nun was a cousin of the Duke of Wellington. While relaxing on their idyllic honeymoon in the Lake District, Kiera and Gage’s bliss is interrupted when they receive a missive from Lord Gage, forcefully requesting their assistance with the murder of a nun at an abbey in the village of Rathfarnham in Ireland.
