  Hea isn’t like other women. The feisty daughter of a seer, she lives alone in
  the fort of Bebbanburg and survives by selling flowers, herbs and potions.
  However, she has also inherited her mother’s gift—and when King Ecgfrith
  requests her skills she can’t refuse him.
  
  Ecgfrith, the ruler of Northumbria, is having trouble with the Picts, the
  warlike people to the north. He needs a seer’s guidance in dealing with them.
  The Pictish king, Bridei mac Beli is demanding freedom from his Angle
  overlord.
