In the conquered land of the Dales, the white-haired warrior Jenna reluctantly embraces her destiny as the prophesied Anna, the queen who will unite her people against the tyrannical Garunian overlords. Blending feminist mythology with epic fantasy, the novel follows Jenna as she pledges her sword to the rightful king and her heart to his brother Carum in a desperate fight for liberation.
