From ancient henges to windswept mountains, dive into a world where pagan gods rule, powerful priestesses weave magic, and fierce Celtic tribes battle for dominance. Britain, AD 38. Having defeated her enemies, Queen Cartimandua works swiftly to stabilize the north. But not all foes yield quietly.

As Queen Cartimandua and King Consort Cormag chart their new life together, a bright future seems within reach. Blessings from Brigantia abound even amid the encroaching darkness. However, whispers from the little ones of the Hollow Hills imply that Cartimandua must wear a crown of talon and bone if she hopes to survive the darkness ahead.
