Hild - now eighteen and married to her forbidden childhood love, battle-scarred and triumphant - is no longer a bright child who charms and dazzles the court with seemingly supernatural insight. But she remains one of the king's most trusted advisers, both seer and warrior, which makes her formidable in a volatile court, and also subject to His Majesty's most dangerous whims. She has never been stronger or more vulnerable. And war is brewing: old alliances are fraying, the priests are impatient to displace the old religions, vengeful rivals are antsy, the king is greedy and dangerously confident. Change is in the air, even if Hild is the only one who can clearly sense it. She wants to protect her own - her family, her friends, her land - but is that enough? For them? For her? As she fights to survive the turbulent times, her life will be rocked by unimaginable loss and grief, and a new strength will be forged, as her vision for a new kind of future emerges and Menewood takes root.
