Lives entwine spanning a millennium. As a child Ailie Belanger, of noble birth, is inspired by spiders and their webs. Despite her station in life she yearns to become a weaver in the village workshop run by her mentor Ottho. Emotionally separated from her father, a drunkard and philanderer, her mother is depressed and unable to conceive anymore children. Ailie's talents catch the eye of the Duke and Duchess of Normandy.
Leo Du Bois, of nobility, a nature loving boy becomes a knight in William the Conqueror's Court. Ailie and Leo's lives interweave.. Ailie's talent as a celebrated embroiderer and weaver gives her access to the Royal Palace and beyond..
A thousand years later Ailie is reborn in Adelaide, South Australia, as Allie Bell, she lives somewhat of a mirror life. Leon was born in Ireland and immigrates with his family to Australia. He grows up in an adjacent suburb, their paths crossing but they never properly meet until they find each other on the other side of the world.
When the modern couple travel to Normandy they have the distinct feeling that they have been there before. They encounter significant people from their former lives who become meaningful friends in their current life.
