Born to wealth and stifling privilege, Tito lives a cocooned life of luxury and dull Edwardian convention. Groomed to follow a career in the church, he finds joy in the unlikeliest of places: Vanessa Agnew, the daughter of a once renowned professor who studies butterflies and moths.
Yet, just as Tito wins her hand, he breaks a vow to her and a terrible secret rips her from his arms. Heartbroken, he follows a trail of bread crumbs left by his former tutor seeking his bride. His attempts to recover Vanessa take him across England and Europe, ensnaring him in a devious plot to find the birthplace of angels, led by a seductive darkness that challenges his faith and his love.
Can Tito stay true to himself in the face of evil and his own failings? Or will his mistakes keep him forever from happiness and the woman he loves?
For readers who love Susanna Clarke's historical depth, A. S. Byatt's emotional clarity, and P. G. Wodehouse's playful wit.
