A memorable tale steeped in detailed research . . . comparable to Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet. -BookLife
Piran Chegwin had known since he was just a boy that he wanted to be a priest-to bring comfort and care to ordinary folk in a little parish church. So when his father manages to scrape together the money for him to study theology at Oxford, it seems his future is set. That is, until he encounters Martin de Villiers, an ambitious, self-important fellow student who takes an instant dislike to Piran. Piran's only offense? Having been born a Cornishman. But to Martin's eyes, it's an offense that must be set right.
Journey with Piran from Oxford to the papal court in Avignon to the wind-swept headland of Tintagel as powerful men try to protect him from slander, violence, and even the Black Death. Will they succeed? And will Piran ever realize his boyhood dream?
