Publisher's Summary
It is a time of old gods, of new beliefs, and new restrictions on living. Sherewode stretches nearly from coast to coast, from the Humber in the north, to Buckingham in the south; from Willenhall in the west to Crowland, east of Ermine Street, with tendrils running all the way to Kernow, Scotland, and Wales. Everywhere Saxons and the old Ænglish are being crushed under the cruel bootheel of the Normans. Thousands of years of history is being stolen, plundered, sold off. Justice and belief are under attack, being rewritten by the Normans - belief in the Christ of the east is in ascendancy while everywhere belief in the Forest gods such as Cernunnos is failing, being discredited, being outlawed. And when Cernunnos himself is slaughtered by Norse gods, the people of Sherewode find themselves all alone.
Muna, known as the woman in white, a wolf’s head, one of Hurnungaz’s hunters, is caught in a storm, but it is no natural storm. Paol, he of the hero light, is hunting her. Paol is no ordinary mercenary or soldier for hire: He is a Celtic warrior, trained by Scáthach, a firebrand who burns out those he hunts.
Luck seems out for Muna, but the storm that Paol has generated has unforeseen consequences.
