Earth is ravaged by tornadoes, and in their aftermath everyone becomes sterile. Certain people acquire psychic powers and can experience "trips" in each other's company, during which their consciousness appears to dislocate itself in time and space.
On the eve of the fourth millenium, Earth is crawling out of a dark age under the sway of a powerful and repressive church when a magical child appears who promises a world of freedom and enlightenment
They came to destroy! The treacherous Falcons, uniformed in the black leather tunics of the fanatic Secular Arm, descended on Corlay to burn and kill. Commanded by Lord Constant, ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, they were determined to crush the religious heresy of Kinship. But a new dream rose from the ashes... When four Kinsmen escaped the carnage of their beloved land, each helped to fulfill the miracle that had been foretold: the coming of the Child of the Bride of Time .....
Twenty years have passed since the martyrdom of the Boy-piper at York, twenty years in which his legacy, the movement of Kinship, has challenged the tyranny of the Church Militant in Britain's seven island kingdoms. Now his namesake, Tom, bearing the Boy's own pipes and perhaps himself imbued with the spirit of the White Bird, is wandering Europe in company with the girl, Witchet. But disaster overtakes them and Tom, in a furry of vengeance, breaks his vow of Kinship. A terrible path lies before him, one that transcends his own world. As he travels it, Tom must come to understand the true nature of the wild White Bird, of The Bride of Time and her Child, and of the Song the Star Born sang.
Im Jahre 1983 toben ungewohnt heftige Orkane und Tornados auf der Erde, und nach dieser Katastrophe stellt sich heraus, dass die gesamte Erdbevölkerung steril geworden ist. Doch zugleich spüren einige Menschen, dass sie plötzlich über ungeahnte, seltsame psychische Kräfte verfügen. Diese Erscheinungen hängen alle offenbar mit einer gewaltigen Explosion im All zusammen, bei der ein bisher unter dem Namen Briareus Delta bekannter Stern zur Supernova geworden ist und trotz seiner Entfernung von 130 Lichtjahren die Erde mit seiner Strahlung verseucht.
