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. Undeterred but facing her first bloody confrontation with the Saxon raiders, and with only her motley band of ill-equipped fighters at her side, Guinevere calls upon the spirits of the dead to help her - but in summoning the dead, there is a terrible price to pay, one that will change her utterly. Further south, Black Leg - Guinevere's childhood companion and the shape-shifting son of her adoptive father - begins his own life-changing journey. He knows he has much to learn, and even more to prove. His is a quest to become a man - one worthy of the newly-crowned Guinevere, one who will become known and revered as Lancelot, the Raven Warrior. It is a journey that proves more perilous, more terrifying with every step and when he and Guinevere are at last reunited, the consequences of their ordeals will unleash
