As the chosen acolyte of a wicker man cult, Eleanor has a sacred duty to select the next sacrifice, and watch him die. But until the end of the world, she's also got to serve tea and cake to visitors to the island's only hotel. When the arrival of a new guest opens her to unconsidered possibilities, she questions everything she's been told about her community, and a cage of deceit collapses into the flames.
