We write the year 997 AD, the end of the Middle Ages. England faces Welsh attacks to the west and Viking attacks to the east. Those in power twist justice to their will, disregarding the common people and often in conflict with the king. Without really a clear rule of law, chaos really reigns.

In these quite turbulent times, three characters find their lives intertwined. A young shipbuilder’s life is turned upside down when his home is invaded by Vikings, forcing him and his family to move and start a new life in a small village where he doesn’t fit in. . . .

A Norman noblewoman marries for love and follows her husband across the sea to a new land, but customs in her husband’s homeland are startlingly different and she soon realizes that a single misstep can be disastrous. . . . A monk dreams of turning his humble abbey into an educational center admired throughout Europe. And each, in turn, finds himself in a dangerous conflict with a cunning and ruthless bishop who will do whatever it takes to increase his wealth and power.
