As a consequence of the bridge collapsing, many lives are taken and many others forever changed. Gwenda's father, Mattie Wise and the Prior are lost, whereas Earl Roland is heroically saved by his squire Ralph. Caris is frustrated due to the lack of means and space to treat the injured and tries to convince Mother Cecilia to build a hospice. Roland and Lady Marjorie's marriage is short lived as soon as news of her betrayal reach the Earl's ear. Brother Godwyn begins to plot to become the next Prior, overunning Sir Thomas Langley. Merthin's ideas and enthusiasm grant him the contract to build the new bridge. Meanwhile, King Edward III believes that God has sent him a sign indicating his rightful aspiration to the throne of France.
