Nicola Griffith

A brilliant, lush, sweeping historical novel about the rise of the most powerful woman of the Middle Ages. Hild, the king's youngest niece, has established herself as the king's seer, and she is indispensable - until she should ever lead the king astray. The stakes are life and death - for Hild, her family, her loved ones, and the increasing numbers who seek the protection of the strange girl who can read the world and see the future. "Hild" brings a beautiful, brutal world - and one of its most fascinating, pivotal figures, the girl who would become St. Hilda of Whitby - to vivid, absorbing life
