In the year 998 A.D., the Apocalypse is believed imminent. Strengthened by a fearful populace, the Church is seeking to harness a decaying Holy Roman Empire by asserting its absolute authority in interpreting the will of God. Aileran, a monk perceived as saintly, takes issue with the Church and is accused of heresy. Based on real events, this book magically evokes the political landscape of the tenth-century while exploring love, friendship and timeless spiritual and religious questions.
Chet Raymo is professor emeritus of physics and astronomy at Stonehill College in Massachusetts. He is teacher, naturalist, and former science columnist for the Boston Globe.
