It is 462AD, and the monk, Fra Paulos, is reminiscing on his long life. And what a life!

However, there are some Christians doing good work, and Paulos needs to stand firm against the hatred leveled towards all Romans.
Then he meets Aethelreda, Queen of the Cantii, and for Paulos, life is about to change forever.
