Summary Eager to start anew, Hester uses the money to travel to England with Pearl and to find a suitable marital match. Upon arrival, Hester reunites with a childhood friend whose husband is an ally of Oliver Cromwell, and when Cromwell learns of Hester's magical ability to see other people's sins, he recruits her to help ferret out those plotting against him. She acquiesces, only to become deeply embroiled in political intrigue that threatens to destroy the new life she's created.
