## Synopsis

In a rigidly pious corner of medieval Europe, questioning the heavens is heresy, and heresy ends in fire. Rafal, a brilliant boy groomed for a safe career in theology, encounters a mysterious scholar whose contraband research points somewhere dangerous: toward a model of the cosmos where the Earth is not the center. What follows spans generations — scholars, mercenaries, and clergy each inheriting the same forbidden idea, protecting it, dying for it, and passing it on. It's a story about how truth survives the people who carry it, told with the patience and conviction of a great novel.
