Five Winters have passed since young king Bridei ascended the
throne of Fortriu. Five years, in which the people have felt a
contentment unknown for generations.
But the security of a people can vanish in a heartbeat, for wolves
are often drawn to fields filled with fattened sheep. Bridei is
determined to drive the Gaelic invaders from his lands once and for
all. And so, with his land secure and his house in order, he
prepares for war.
And one of Bridei's plans to win the war to come involves the
beautiful young Ana. A princess of the Light Isles, she has dwelt
as a hostage at the court of Fortriu for most of her young life.
Despite being a pawn of fortune, she has bewitched all at court and
is dearly loved by Bridei and his queen. But Ana understands her
duty. And so she will travel north, to make a strategic marriage
with a chieftain she has never seen, in the hopes of gaining an
ally on whom Bridei's victory relies.
For secrecy's sake, Ana must travel at a soldier's pace, with a
small band led by the enigmatic spymaster Faolan. Bridei implores
Ana to trust see the good in Faolan...but Ana cannot see beyond his
cold competence and killer's eyes.
Then, when she arrives at the chieftain Alpin's stronghold in the
mysterious Briar Woods, her discomfort and unease increase tenfold,
for this is a place of full of secrets and her betrothed is an
enigma himself. The more Ana tries to uncover the truth of her new
life, the more she discovers a maze of polite diversions that mask
deadly lies. She fears Faolan, but he may prove to be the truest
thing in her world.
Or her doom.
