In this, the 'hero' has been unable to find his family as they had left their home before he could return and he has sunken into drunken depression. He is rescued by Cromwell's spy who takes him to Cromwell - they have another mission for him. This time it is to find the abducted sister of John Milton, better known in his own time for his pro-Parliamentarian firebrand writings than for the epic poems for which we remember him. The suspicion is that Royalists are behind the abduction but instead it turns out to be connected with events a few years previously when the sister's husband was supposedly lost in a battle.

There is a hint of a thwarted romance on both sides with the awareness of his bond to his wife, as there was in book 1.
