Jean-Luc and Morven meet in the abbey ruins, connected across four and a half centuries by a time-capsule buried under a stone in the labyrinth at Flegg. Jean-Luc is a servant in the sacked Abbey, with a thirst for adventure and a disdain for bullies. Built like a bear, his uncontrolled temper gets him into frequent fights, and he finds himself exiled from all the people he loves - not just once, but twice. Morven is a shrimp-like twelve-year-old, cruelly neglected by her mother and tempted to follow her mother's path to survival - or oblivion.
Can they help each other out? Jean-Luc somehow needs to restore his reputation and grasp his opportunity to love and be loved; but the monks who rescued him from his first big mistake are now in fear of their own lives from the Reformers. Morven needs to figure out whether she can trust her great-aunt and escape from her mother's world of drugs, shame and shoplifting.
21st century needs aren't so different, after all, from those of the 16th century. Either Jean-Luc and Morven can learn to control their gut responses, reach out, and risk the offer of happiness - or they must wander forever rootless through the dangers of their respective time zones. Only the labyrinth can bring them together across the centuries to find the path to self-knowledge.
