England, end of the 13th century. A terrible experience deprives little Amicia of her home, Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight. Lonely, haunted by horrific images, and without knowing anything about her origins, she grows up as a boy under the protection of monks at Quarr Abbey. When the monks ask Amicia to care for the badly wounded knight, new images creep into her dreams upon seeing him: a pair of cold eyes, scenes of carnage, and a piercing scream. She doesn't know why the knight seems dangerous to her. She does not understand why the abbot sends her with him when he leaves, although the stranger is already cured. A dangerous journey through England begins, a journey to find the truth...
