An 666. Sœur Fidelma, princesse et avocate renommée dans les cinq royaumes d'Eireann, embarque pour un pèlerinage à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle afin de trouver un peu de paix et faire le point sur sa vocation. Mais l'atmosphère du navire ne se révèle guère propice à la méditation et la traversée vers l'Ibérie sera plus mouvementée que prévu. Au lendemain d'une effroyable tempête, une religieuse disparaît du bord dans des circonstances pour le moins douteuses... Fidelma n'a d'autre choix que de mener l'enquête, mais sa tâche est d'autant plus délicate qu'un des passagers est loin d'être un inconnu pour elle : le bel et arrogant Cian, celui qui lui a brisé le cœur dix ans auparavant, est à bord, bien décidé à ne pas lui simplifier la vie ! Entre un assassin et les fantômes du passé, sœur Fidelma aura fort à faire.
