Books Descriptions
All civilisations think they are invulnerable. History warns us
none is.1468. A young priest, Christopher Fairfax, arrives in a
remote Exmoor village to conduct the funeral of his
predecessor. The land around is strewn with ancient artefacts ?
coins, fragments of glass, human bones ? which the old parson
used to collect. Did his obsession with the past lead to his
death?As Fairfax is drawn more deeply into the isolated
community, everything he believes ? about himself, his faith
and the history of his world ? is tested to destruction.
