When librarian Rina Baroni's brother is kidnapped by a warrior Goddess, all because she won't use her new oracle abilities, she turns to the one woman she's been drawn to since magic returned to the hills of the South Downs: warrior-turned-bouncer Aerten.
The only surviving daughter of Boudica, Aerten has dealt with her fair share of turncoat Gods over the last millennia - not least Andraste, the Goddess who abandoned her family during the Roman occupation - but when the Goddess starts targeting the shy librarian that Aerten's falling for, Aerten will sacrifice anything to keep Rina safe. Even if it means becoming the centre of Rina's magical visions.
