In this lyrical work of historical fantasy set in Neolithic Orkney, a young boy's extraordinary gifts help bridge the wisdom of ancient standing stones with the astronomical knowledge of Egypt. When Caelan begins spending time at the Ring of Brodgar, he encounters a mysterious teacher who shows him how to read the deeper patterns in stone and star. The arrival of an Egyptian priest, washed ashore from a shipwrecked expedition, brings new understanding that transforms the isolated community of Skara Brae. As Caelan grows into his role as future chief, his gifted son Alander becomes a bridge between worlds, helping the community face mounting signs that they must abandon their ancient home.
Drawing on research into both Neolithic British archaeology and Egyptian history circa 2500 BC, Lewis weaves a compelling tale of how wisdom flows between cultures and across time itself. As climate change and resource depletion force hard choices, the people of Skara Brae must decide what to preserve and what to leave behind. This deeply resonant story explores themes of adaptation, cultural exchange, and the eternal human challenge of maintaining wisdom through times of great change.
