Roman England, 366 AD: Minna, a Roman serving girl, is flung out into the brutal world to fend for herself. She falls in with Cian, a tribeless youth but a terrible mistake sees them thrust into the wilds of barbarian Scotland, a land in chaos. The Romans have sent scouts north from their frontier, seeking to subdue Scotland by any means possible. The Picts retaliate, raiding and pillaging Roman farms. And caught in the middle is Cahir, King of the Dalriadans in Scotland, whose power is dwindling.
At Dunadd, Cahir’s fort, Cian and Minna must struggle to survive. Cian retreats into the pain of his hidden past, while Minna is plagued by visions and dreams of Scotland, full of battles and bloodshed. Compelled by an ancient prophecy, Minna’s visions reveal a destiny that she shares with the wounded king Cahir, as seer and lover. Yet her journey to heal them both has far-reaching consequences even she cannot foresee.
