Bride of the SpearIn warring post-Arthurian England, King Loth seeks to cement an alliance with his Cumbrian rival by presenting his lovely daughter, Princess Taniu, to Owain, his rival's son. But Taniu is haunted by a pagan ritual from her childhood, one that prevents her from loving any man except the huntsman whose life she saved. |
