The memory of a seventh century monk is revived in the minds of Joseph and Amy when they make the startling discovery of their past lives in Anglo-Saxon England. Directed by slowly unravelling events of the long past, they set out on a journey to find their beloved Avide. Mystical animal guides assist in the struggle to rekindle the instincts and knowledge of another age. It becomes quickly apparent that the malevolent enemies by whom they were vanquished over a thousand years ago, are alive and even more powerful in current times. Beset by intrigue and deception, they stand at the very centre of the age-old conflict between darkness and light. Is it possible that Avide can be found? Will he reveal himself to them in time?
