Unable to bear the prospect of life at sea, young Anthony O'Connell deserts his ship at Torquay and escapes into the Devonshire countryside under a new name. Zachary Moon. In this lush, enchanting land where anguish and strife did not exist, he met Stella Sprigg, the adopted daughter of local farmers. The pair instantly know they are destined to be together forever. As they grew up, the world rushed into their magic kingdom. War raged--a war to challenge the bravest of men. Zachary answered that challenge, knowing it would sweep him far away, into the depths of danger. Yet he vowed to return to Stella, no matter what, no matter how. Intertwined with the local legend of St. Michael's Chapel at Torquay, Zachary and Stella's story takes them from the secluded Devonshire valley to the perilous Mediterranean seas and finally to the poverty and squalor of eighteenth-century London.
