Kindness of Strangers - Medieval Mysteries of Galen

Trapped in a land plagued by vikings, can a small miracle be what they need to survive?

Anglo-Saxon England, 997 AD. 16-Year-old scribe, Galen, and his friend Alcuin the illuminator, are running late. Galen's frailty has delayed their mission - to produce the most glorious book in honour of the king. They are crossing the treacherous marshes of eastern England when vikings attack.

After the battle, a child claims that Galen performed a miracle. Ill, surrounded by strangers and expecting a second viking raid at any moment, Galen struggles to understand what actually happened.

Did Galen perform a miracle? What does it mean for him and the people around him if he did? Will it even matter if they are overrun by vikings?
