In a time of chaos, darkness, and violence it is better to
live only in the moment, lest your memories eat you alive.

The time is the Dark Ages, the place is Britannia. A Druid
woman, indispensable to the new ruthless Saxon warlord for
her gift of "sight" is allowed to live, but is sentenced to
serve as apprentice to the Saxon executioner. Sierra has
lost everything, her home, her mother and her brother has
been banished, left for dead in the winter wood. She must
learn to survive, she must learn to put away the fear and
she must learn to believe in the magic she possesses if she
ever hopes to be free. When a Roman warrior is captured,
Sierra must decide whether to trust a traitor to her
people, or believe that he alone can set her battered soul
free and give her hope for a future.

"a disturbingly touching tale of hope, love and
survival."~RomanceBookWyrm on TORTURED
