Young Drew Morgan has an enviable position. Handpicked by Bishop Laud, next to the king the most powerfman man in England, it is his assignment to infiltrate Puritian villages, turn over "traitors" to the church and crown, and discover the secret identity of notorious pamphleteer Justin.

But when Drew falls in love witha Puritan Curate's daughter, his personal fortunes begin to falter as his spiritual yearnings take root.

At last Drew sails to the New World colony of Massachusetts and sets out to win the forgiveness of those whom he has wronged, especially the woman he loves.
