On the Cornish coast, in the nineteenth century, a young boy, Edmund, flees for his life as soldiers search his house. He has with him an ancient family pendant, steeped in mystery and so desired that it has been fought over for centuries.
Over two hundred years later, while on holiday with his family in Cornwall, Lawrie Lyte suffers a terrifying fall into a deep crevice. His search for the way out leads him through a network of underground caves, but when Lawrie emerges from his ordeal, he finds he has been thrown back into the past to nineteenth-century Cornwall - a terrifying time of notorious smugglers and sinister wreckers.
In a gripping plot of twists and turns, Lawrie's friendship with Georgina, a runaway, and her entanglement with a dangerous gang of criminals, hurls him headlong into a perilous adventure, in which he must uncover the mystery surrounding the ancient pendant if he is ever to return to his own time.
