The third novel in the bestselling 8-volume Angel Mountain Saga, about
the life and times of the incorrigible, passionate and very imperfect
heroine Martha Morgan
The year is 1807 and Martha is in the process of recovering from the
murder of her husband David. The murderers have been brought to justice
and now she looks forward to a happier future in the company of Owain
Laugharne, the new love of her life. Plans for the marriage are far
advanced when Owain disappears without trace.
This is trouble enough for a young widow with four children, but then
she has to cope with the bullying of a neighbouring squire, the
terrifying appearances of a strange figure in black called The
Nightwalker and a newborn baby left on her doorstep. Her friend and
mentor, the Wizard Joseph Harries, tries but fails to discover exactly
what is going on. As the years pass she becomes increasingly lonely and
at last her friends and servants convince her to marry again. A
long-time admirer proposes and she accepts. But on the night before the
wedding, a new arrival triggers off a series of extraordinary events on
Angel Mountain which will test Martha's resolve to the limit ...
