In seventh-century Britain, a new religion is coming ashore and small kingdoms are merging, frequently and violently. Hild is the kings youngest niece, with a glittering mind and a natural authority.
She is destined to become one of the pivotal figures of the Early Middle Ages: Saint Hilda of Whitby. But for now she has only the powerful curiosity of a bright child and the precarious advantage of a plotting uncle, Edwin of Northumbria, who will stop at nothing to become overking of Angles. Hild establishes a place for herself at his side as the kings seer, and she is indispensableas long as she doesnt lead Edwin astray. The stakes are highlife and deathfor Hild, for her family, and, increasingly, for those who seek the protection from this strange girl who seems to see the future. Drawing from the few records history has left us, Nicola Griffith has brought the young Saint Hildas harsh, but beautiful, world to vivid, absorbing life.
