500 A.D.The Roman Empire in the West is over. It has been sacked by Alaric, King of the Visigoths, in 410. By Genseric, King of the Vandals, in 455. It will be sacked a third time in 546 by Totila, King of the Ostrogoths. Byzantium remains the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. There is no such thing as Islam. Vikings are half a century away from landing on the coast of North America. China has entered a period where it is divided between Northern and Southern dynasties while Buddhism spreads throughout the land, antagonizing Taoists. In Africa, in the Chari River basin just south of Lake Chad, the Sao civilization flourishes. They are skilled artisans in iron, copper and bronze. Alexandria in Egypt and Antioch in Syria are the leading centers of Christianity. Far to the north in Britain, invasions by the Picts, Irish and Anglo-Saxons have destroyed the way of life the Romans once fostered which included towns, literacy and the Christian faith. All of this is in steep decline.Except. On a small island off the British coast, faith in a God who walked the earth has never diminished. And now, two young people are being sent from that island on a quest to seek the deeper truths of that God. To find those truths and bring them home. And, if necessary, to strive against the forces of darkness, overcome them, and never yield.The Quest can cost these young people their lives. Their love for each other. Their love for God. It can cost them their souls. But they set out on the journey, nevertheless. The adventure and its darkest dangers begin.
