Barrett and Haykin guide us through the seventeenth-century theologian’s life and doctrine, giving us a glimpse into the majestic vision that served as the foundation for his approach to the Christian life.

Schottland, 877. Verzweifelt flieht Lady Ceanna vor einer erzwungenen Ehe aus der elterlichen Burg. Sie will ins Kloster, ins ferne Nrurim! Wie gefährlich ihr Plan ist, erkennt sie erst, als ein hochgewachsener Wikinger ihren Weg kreuzt. Sandulf Sigurdsson flößt ihr Angst ein – und verleiht ihr zugleich Mut. Denn schon bald rettet er ihr das Leben, als ihre Verfolger sie finden. Doch als er sie voller Leidenschaft küsst, weiß Ceanna: Ihre Unschuld ist in Gefahr! Und damit ihre Zukunft als Nonne.
