Marlborough Town, nestled in the Wiltshire Downs, is home to the finest astrologer west of London. Geoffrey Celest.
Bennet, Master Celest's apprentice, modelling himself on his master, has resigned himself to living an eccentric, celibate and aesthetic life. But when his master dies suddenly, the young man is thrown utterly on his own resources. Almost by accident, he takes on an untried and rather mischievous young woman, Christa Wren, as his servant. Reluctantly drawn into a world of murder, blackmail and feuding, the two of them are pulled closer; more intimate than master and servant should ever be.
In a tale packed with folklore and Medieval tradition, Bennet and Christa, battle with the evil forces in the town which threaten to tear them apart guided only by the deceased astrologer's advice and warnings laid down secretly in a little black book.
Will the pair be protected by the benign influence of the planets or will those who seek to destroy them prevail?
♥ Can Bennet and Christa ever truly be more than master and servant or will true love find a way to triumph? ♥
★★★★★ It's all in the stars. ★★★★★
