Inhalt
Hild is born into a world in transition. In 7th-century Britain, small kingdoms are merging, usually violently. A new religion is coming ashore. The old gods' priests are worried. Edwin of Northumbria plots to become overking of the Angles, ruthlessly using every tool at his disposal: blood, bribery, belief. Hild is the king's youngest niece. She has the powerful curiosity of a bright child, a will of adamant, and a way of seeing the world - of predicting what will happen next - that can seem uncanny, even supernatural, to those around her. She establishes herself as the king's seer. And she is indispensable until she should ever lead the king astray. The stakes are life and death: for Hild, her family, her loved ones, and the increasing numbers who seek the protection of the strange girl who can read the world and see the future. It's a character study of Hild as she balances a need for acceptance, love, and friendship and a desire to escape the strict gender roles of her time.
