"Daughter of an ousted king, descendant of ancient druids, Gruoch has grown up believing that she will be crowned queen of Alba and reclaim the lands of her Pictish kin, a prophecy seemingly fulfilled by her betrothal to Duncan, the heir-elect. Leaving behind her home, her family, and her close friend MacBethad, she travels to the royal seat at Scone to embrace her new position. But Duncan's court is rife with sly words and unfriendly faces, and as her coronation approaches, a deadly turn of events forces Gruoch to flee the capital. Alone and at the mercy of an old enemy, Gruoch must make a fateful choice: live a long, quiet life in the shadows or seize vengeance and a path back to the throne"--Provided by publisher.

But in Scotland, a new religion is rising, one that brings disruption, bloodshed, and riot.

When conflict brings the hero Emrys Pendragon to her father's door, Languoreth finds love with one of his warriors. Her deep connection to Maelgwn is forged by enchantment, but she is promised in marriage to Rhydderch, son of a Christian king. As Languoreth is catapulted into a world of violence and political intrigue, she must learn to adapt. Together with her brother--a warrior and druid known to history as Myrddin--Languoreth must assume her duty to fight for the preservation of the Old Way and the survival of her kingdom, or risk the loss of them both forever."--Provided by publisher.
