The decision made at that meeting eventually triggered a 100 year war between England and Scotland. Caught in the middle were the people of Upsettlington, neither Scottish or English. Home to both sides for a number of people who would be called to play leading parts in the history of the Borders. In the midst of their story a 1,200 year old mystery of opposing international clandestine societies, heretics and inquisitors. One to extend knowledge and one to suppress it.
