It is 1901 - the dawn of the twentieth century. In the library of a remote country house in Cornwall, the noted antiquarian and Celtic revivalist Edward Cardew is about to make a remarkable discovery. What he finds may change him markedly, and reposition his attitude toward literature, religion and love. In a land where time is never linear and more commonly layered upon place and space, the discovery may also alter the nature of history itself. What curiosity Cardew finds both attracts and repels him, mysteriously shifting him between the ages. In the same library, exactly one hundred and thirteen years later, a young working-class scholar, Jake Rowe, pursues his quest to explore the life and work of Edward Cardew who has importantly shaped Cornwall's position as a Celtic nation, paving the way for devolution and national minority status. Confused about his own identity, Jake discovers more than he wants to know, setting him on a wildly different course, and making him, like Cardew, face a number of cataclysmic truths.
