What happens when you bury an angel? William, an orphan boy, lives at Crowfield Abbey in the 14th century. Sent into the forest to gather wood, he instead rescues a fantastical creature from a trap - a hob, who shares with Will a dark secret. Somewhere in the forest behind the abbey where he lives, is a grave. And buried deep in the snow is an angel. But how can an angel die? What has it to do with the history of the forest and Abbey? When two hooded strangers arrive at Crowfield asking questions about the angel's grave, Will is drawn into a battling world of good and bad spirits. The forces unleashed are terrifying, the characters are never what they seem, but the boy's simple goodness proves to be the real key of the mystery.
