Eilan is the daughter of a Druid. Her land, the Britain of the first century, is struggling to survive Roman occupation and her own people's enemies. She is ready to become a priestess of The Forest House, but she has a secret. Gaius, a Roman soldier of mixed blood, has become close to her. If this fact were known, she would not be anointed as the new High Priestess and both their lives would be in danger.
