In 997 CE, as England faces threats from the Welsh and Vikings, chaos prevails amid a lack of justice. Three characters’ lives become intertwined during these turbulent times. A young boatbuilder's world is shattered when Vikings raid his home, forcing him and his family to relocate to a small hamlet where he struggles to fit in. Meanwhile, a Norman noblewoman marries for love and follows her husband to a new land, only to find the customs vastly different and the environment rife with brutal power struggles, where a single misstep could lead to disaster. Additionally, a monk aspires to transform his modest abbey into a renowned center of learning admired throughout Europe. Each character faces perilous conflicts with a cunning bishop determined to amass wealth and power at any cost. This masterful prequel takes readers on an epic journey through a historical landscape filled with ambition, rivalry, love, and hate, ultimately leading to the events of a beloved classic.
