About this book
In first-century Roman Britain, Eilan, the daughter of a Druid, falls in love with Gaius, a Roman officer, a love that both their families forbid. She is taken to the Forest House, where the priestesses live, and secretly bears his son.
She rises to become the High Priestess while keeping her secret, as her father, the Arch-Druid, presses her to stop promoting peace with the Romans. A prequel to The Mists of Avalon.
