John Broughton's Expulsion is a historically accurate, riveting adventure set in the medieval times, where riches and power are in the reach of the resourceful, and death is always just one step away.

After the Norman Conquest, fate throws a studious monk and a bluff mason together for a lifelong friendship. The monk, Thurgot, senses Kenrick’s destiny, a man who saves him from drowning near the Farne Isles. His Christian beliefs entwine with Kenrick’s pragmatic talents to overcome the obstacles of revolt, persecution, and hardship that these turbulent times present.
