The book is written in the present with flashbacks to events that took place before the fire. We slowly learn that there has been a massive fire after the commune is attacked by government agencies and something has happened which Moonbeam feels she is responsible for. We first meet Moonbeam when she is locked in a secure facility with some other kids from the commune. Moonbeam is left there with her mum, who she has quite a fractious relationship with and the rest of the commune. He moved Moon and her mum there and became one of the top leaders. Moonbeam has lived there for most of her life after her father saw the previous leader, Father Patrick, speak. The cult, or God’s Legion live in a commune and are led by the charismatic and scary Father John. Moonbeam has grown up living in a cult in the desert in America.
