Got this at Miami's library book sale for BookCrossing's Monopoly game. Call me shallow but I most certainly am not wading through a thick tome like this...

Tom Builder's dream is to build a cathedral, but in the meantime, he must scrounge about to find a lord that will hire him. His search pulls him and his family into the politics of 12th-century England, as different lords vie to gain control of the throne in the wake of the recently deceased king. Prior Phillip, a man raised in the monastery since childhood, also finds himself drafted into the brewing storm as he must protect the interests of a declining church.

Left at the "Hercules of Brickell" statue in front of Grimpa. It is supposedly the largest bronze sculpture of Greek mythology.
