In a time of intrigue and betrayal, the huntress is on a
quest that could jeopardize two empires and two great
queens: Catherine de Medici and Elizabeth I.
The year is 1585–and prophecy has foretold the coming of a
daughter of the Earth whose powers are so extraordinary they
could usurp the very rule of the Dark Queen herself,
Catherine de Medici. Dispatched from Brittany to London,
Catriona O’Hanlon, known as the Huntress, must find this
mysterious young girl and shield her from those who will
exploit her mystic abilities, which have the potential to
change the course of history.
Catriona’s skill with weaponry is all she has to protect
herself and her young charge from spies who snake through
the courts of Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen–including the
girl’s own father, whose loyalties are stretched to the
breaking point. But Catriona will soon face menacing forces
and sinister plots unlike any she has ever encountered.
From Susan Carroll, the celebrated storyteller of historical
fiction, The Huntress is an unforgettable portrait of power
and passion–and one woman’s courage to risk everything for
those she loves.
