A TIME OF CONFLICT
It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages, and England faces attacks
from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Life is
hard, and those with power wield it harshly, bending justice
according to their will - often in conflict with the king.
THREE LIVES INTERTWINED
Into this uncertain world three people come to the fore: a young
boatbuilder, who dreams of a better future when a devastating
Viking raid shatters the life that he and the woman he loves
hoped for a Norman noblewoman, who follows her beloved husband
across the sea to a new land only to find her life there
shockingly different.
THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE Now, with England at the dawn of the Middle
Ages, these three people will each come into dangerous conflict
with a ruthless bishop.
