Oxford, 1583. Giordano Bruno travels with Philip Sidney to the university, officially as a visiting scholar but secretly on behalf of Francis Walsingham. His task is to identify Catholic networks that may be supporting plots against Elizabeth I, while he also searches for a manuscript whose ideas could transform his own work.

A series of murders inside an Oxford college turns the mission into a dangerous inquiry. Bruno must navigate academic rivalries, religious division and his own reputation as an excommunicated former friar, knowing that the killer and the conspirators may be using the same climate of fear for different ends.
