Summary
Koniec pierwszego tysiąclecia naszej ery. Anglia, nękana od wschodu przez wikingów i od zachodu przez Walijczyków, pogrąża się w chaosie. Ale trzy pochodzące z różnych środowisk osoby rozpaczliwie próbują dojrzeć na horyzoncie światło i sprawić, by świat wydobył się z mroków barbarzyństwa. Edgar, młody szkutnik, który w napadzie wikingów stracił dom i ukochaną, rozpoczyna życie w nowym miejscu i wykorzystuje swoje zdolności, by uciec od poniżenia i nędzy. Lady Ragna opuszcza rodzinną Normandię, aby poślubić ukochanego mężczyznę, lecz kiedy dociera do Anglii, musi walczyć we wrogim środowisku o swoją pozycję i przetrwanie. Brat Aldred, ambitny mnich, marzy o stworzeniu biblioteki, za sprawą której jego klasztor stałby się największym centrum nauki w całym chrześcijańskim świecie.
