In the 18th century, Dawnay Price is an anomaly. An educated
foundling, a woman of science in a time when such things are
unheard-of, she overcomes her origins to become a natural
philosopher. Against the conventions of the day, and to the alarm
of her male contemporaries, she sets sail to Portugal to develop
her theories. There she makes some startling discoveries - not only
in an ancient cave whose secrets hint at a previously undiscovered
civilisation, but also in her own heart. The siren call of science
is powerful, but as war approaches she finds herself pulled in
another direction by feelings she cannot control.
