Northumbria after the Norman Conquest. Kenrick, a practical mason descended from the earlier protagonists, rescues the learned monk Thurgot from a shipwreck near the Farne Islands. The encounter begins a lifelong friendship between two men whose talents offer different ways of surviving rebellion, persecution and the restructuring of northern England.
As Thurgot advances within the Church, he recognises Kenrick’s potential as a builder and supports his work on the new cathedral at Durham. Their lives become bound to the creation of a permanent shrine for Saint Cuthbert, showing how faith, engineering, patronage and endurance could produce lasting monuments amid the disruption of Anglo-Norman rule.
