Cover Artist Kate Western from New Romney
Places West Hythe Lyminge
7th Century
“What sort of place is Romney Marsh?” the monk asked. The words didn't come easily: his lips only knew prayer, his tongue only knew to move in the gentle rhythm of the psalms.
“There's nothing to speak of,” Brother Halig replied. “It is as bleak as one could imagine and will serve our purpose well.”
The year is 680AD and areas of dry land are rising from the marsh. No man would consider settling permanently in such an unforgiving place. However, for a few days a year the Sandtun comes alive with traders who await boats from Francia. Old friends meet at the tented camp and join with others coming from inland to sell their wares. As friendships are made and hatred brews, four monks descend the Shipway track carrying their precious secret.
