The book follows the story of Giordano Bruno, a monk, poet, scientist, and magician who is on the run from the Roman Inquisition on charges of heresy for his belief that the Earth orbits the sun and that the universe is infinite. In the book, Walsingham recruits Bruno to spy on the dons of Oxford University during the time he spent on the island as a fugitive from the Inquisition.
