Book I

In Sigisfarne’s stone, the silence stays,
Older than memory, older than praise.
South in the Fringe, the molemen creep,
The forest takes back what farmers keep.
Temple below, the idols feed,
Poison and relic, hissing seed.
Queensweald whispers, Horned Knight bows,
Hendenburgh crones make wicked vows.
The Tyrant stirs, the spire is flame,
Noonan drinks and calls her name.
Children of stone, the cults dismay,
unsettled paths will have their way.
