Set against a backdrop of the year 1066 a mysterious rock re-emerges after an absence of hundreds of years. On this occasion the Keeper, for that is what the custodian of the rock is called, is visited in a dream during the night the star with the hairy tail shows itself in the sky and is tasked with finding an ancient stone tablet, hidden by a monk three centuries earlier. Bedwyth, the monk, could not find it in himself to reveal the contents of the tablet to the world, fearing it would destroy all that people believed in, but nor could he destroy it, knowing that to do so would be destroying the word of God. Now, three hundred years after his death, a parchment comes to light written by Bedwyth telling of the tablet and divulging clues to its whereabouts but not its contents. The Keeper teams up with her cousins and a stranger named Jehoshua to solve the mystery, but is the stranger all that he seems or is he holding something back? Something which if it was revealed would cause as much disturbance as the secrets of the stone. Others however want the rock the Keeper wears, some believing it will assist in their quest to conquer England whilst some want to use its power to seek the ancient tablet, believing that were it not to be revealed it would go against the will of God. Others are doing all in their power to have the rock destroyed in order to keep its secrets safe and thus the tablet of stone. The Keeper finds herself fleeing for her life as the rival factions try to wrest the secret of the stone from her. But she has the same dilemma as the monk, Bedwyth. If the tablet is found should she disclose its contents or would the world's population be better kept in ignorance? Events however take a different path as the Keeper and her companions become embroiled in the events and battles of the year as first they charge north with King Harold's army to fight off the Viking invasion before returning south to face William, Duke of Normandy. The story calls into question many of the beliefs we grew up with, whilst encompassing the legends, the fables and the facts surrounding what is possibly the most famous date in English history. It is a tale of battles and intrigue, of love, and of grief, of mystery and mayhem but most of all it tells of one year in history as seen through the eyes of someone who experienced it and lived to tell the tale.
A mysterious rock, birthed millions of years ago on a dying sun far from ours, journeys through space on a voyage of a million billion miles. As it travels it accumulates space debris, particles of dust, each containing a speck of knowledge, but a knowledge which will only be divulged to those worthy of receiving it. Eventually falling to Earth the rock is found by such a person - a child - the Keeper. In these first two journals of the Keeper's episodes, follow the adventures, trials and tribulations of the custodians of the rock as it passes from one Keeper to another through the ages, normally a small child because their minds are not yet filled with prejudice or pre-conceived ideas and ideals, but occasionally it is held by an adult worthy of the title "Keeper". As the tale unfolds see how the rock influences the course of history, myth and legend through the ages. From the pre-history of the African plains to Judea, through Roman Britain and onwards to the Dark Ages of Arthurian Britain and Eire, the rock has a bearing on many significant events that shape our lives today. Will the Keepers remain safe? Or will others attempt to influence events to their own ends?
