Historical Fiction with a Wicked Twist!

Set in the Dark Ages, a young woman is secretly pledged as the savior of the Pagan Dumnonii tribe.

Vala, is blissfully unaware of this dubious honor as she goes about life in her isolated village. Raised as an orphan, she has never met her father, the radical leader of his dying clan. When he reveals himself to the girl, Vala is repelled by him and by his gift of a powerful family heirloom.

With lightning cruelty, Vala’s world is upended when her father is murdered and unknown forces bear down upon her. Running for her life, Vala finds allies in a traveling monk and her father’s old apprentice. The two despise each other but with opposing forces bent on their destruction, the men are forced to collaborate.

Vala’s dark journey leads from the heart of Pagan Britain to the cloisters of the most powerful and devilish cleric of the island. Each side wants something from her, something she cannot give.
