The text of this synopsis is taken from the Richard Drew edition bookjacket.

Erismore was a small island of the Inner Hebrides, unimportant and remote. But it had its own strange dark history and its stranger fate,cradle and grave of faiths, and a fire burned there that the centuries had quelled elsewhere.

Finlay MacBride, the island's wandering pastor,dying in a Flanders barn on the eve of Waterloo, delivered his last message into the doubting hands of Aeneas Graham, Surgeon-Major in the Highland Brigade, and a surprising dance it led him, and an even more surprising destiny awaited him on the Isle Erismore. here is a singularly strange and gripping tale, of ancient evil and tender love, of fierce conflict and pathos and beauty.
