Humiliated by his father in front of their household, Leofwine's
only crime is that, unlike his wild, younger brother, he finds no
pleasure in terrorizing the countryside. Leofwine finally receives
permission to enter a monastery but shortly after his dream is
fulfilled, he hears strange rumors of a French monk who preaches
"heresy." Unable to stop thinking about these new ideas, Leofwine
and his fellow monks become convinced that he must be under the
spell of a witch. At last, Leofwine determines to leave the
monastery and England, hoping that in the holy life of a pilgrim he
will find freedom from the curse that he feels he is under. His
search for inner peace takes him to France and to Rome and finally
to Jerusalem, but all of his travels leave him more confused than
ever, and worse yet, he uncovers a plot against his native England.
Now Leofwine must find a way to help his beloved country and also
decide what to believe about the surprising ideas he has heard in a
small village in the Alps.
