==Novel summary==
Seventh century Britain is in transition. Small kingdoms are merging. Edwin of Northumbria plots to become overking of the Angles using every tool at his disposal: blood, bribery, and religious belief. Into this world Hild is born, the king's niece: a child with a glittering mind, powerful curiosity, and will of adamant. Edwin is cunning and ruthless, but Hild is matchless. She carves herself a place as his advisor, a young woman at the heart of the violence, subtlety, and mysticism of the early medieval age. But kings don't trust anyone, even nieces. And at this level, the stakes are life and death.
