Late 6th century Britain. Regional kingdoms are engaged in a
ruthless struggle for supremacy. To the south, Saxon kings
predominate but, in the north, British leaders are combining in a
final effort to overthrow their two Angle rivals in Deira and
Bernicia. To survive, the Angle warlords must put aside their
ancient rivalry. Acha, daughter of one king is chosen to act as
'peace-weaver' by marrying the rival leader. But when her intended
husband kills her father and disinherits her young brother, she has
to choose between her lover, her family and her duty to the wider
kin. Against a backdrop of military campaigns that decide the shape
of northern Britain, this story follows the personal tragedies that
force siblings into rival camps. The outcome may be a united
kingdom but families will be divided forever.
