Evening and Morning. Volume 1

997 year from the Birth of Christ.
The Dark Ages on the continent are coming to an end, but in Britain, the very existence of the English nation is at stake...
From the west, the warlike Celts of Wales attack. The north is repeatedly drenched in blood from the raids of ruthless Scandinavian Vikings. He is right who is strong. The sword and spear have become the only law. Everyone survives as they can.
Such are the times in which the heroes live - a young Saxon shipbuilder searching for his place in the sun, whose family has been driven from their home by Vikings, a noble Norman beauty preparing with her husband to engage in a deadly struggle for wealth and power, and an educated monk obsessed with the idea of turning his modest monastery into one of the main centers of knowledge and culture in Europe.
This is their story - grand and captivating, brutal and mesmerizing.
