Part 4/10:
Surviving this encounter, Solomon finds himself in England, having renounced violence and sought forgiveness in a monastery. He gives away his wealth to the Church, hoping to cleanse his tainted soul. Yet, a priest warns him of an ominous presence, predicting that Solomon must leave to avert catastrophe. Uncertain and wandering, he witnesses the grim realities of the world—plague and punishment—and during his travels crosses paths with the Crowthorn family, who offer him a temporary respite.
