But the security of the people can vanish in a heartbeat, for wolves tend to be drawn to areas filled up with fattened sheep. Bridei is determined to drive the Gaelic invaders from his lands forever. And so, along with his land secure and his house to be able, he prepares for war. One of Bridei's plans to win the war to come involves the beautiful young Ana. A princess of the Light Isles, she's dwelt as a hostage at the judge of Fortriu for the majority of her young life.

And so she'll travel north, to produce a strategic marriage with a chieftain she's never seen, in the desires of attaining an ally on whom Bridei's triumph depends. For secrecy's sake, Ana must travel at a soldier's pace, with a tiny group led by the enigmatic spymaster Faolan. Bridei implores Ana to trust him and start to see the good in Faolan...but Ana cannot see beyond his frigid competence and killer's sight.

The more Ana tries to uncover the reality of her new lease of life, the more she discovers a maze of polite diversions that mask deadly is placed.
