Summary
(From the publisher):
The Drowning, the great rising of the seas, had left Britain as seven island kingdoms; a thousand years later, their people occupied a medieval world dominated by the Church Militant.

It was Tom's martyrdom on the walls of York that established a movement that would sweep the world, and a message of hope - the legend of the White Bird of Kinship.
Twenty years on, the Kin are many, and their persecution by the Church ferocious. And from a misty time before the Drowning others watch in helpless fascination as the wing beat of the White Bird is heard across the world to come...
