Guinevere, Queen of the Dragon People, has become a woman and taken the power offered to her by the Dragon Throne. Now there is no turning back - to protect her beloved homeland from the reviled Saxon raiders, she must strike first. But her chieftains give her a war party of the weakest, the outcasts - for what can this young girl, barely a woman, really know of the art of war.
