Synopsis ~
Oak, Yew, Ash, and Rowan: the four powers of the
world, all once great and mighty, now yielding to the effects of centuries of
war. A Kink of Oak and a Queen of Yew sit on the thrones of the land – the King
a drunken lout, the Queen a magical schemer. Ash and Rowan are nearly dead,
their totem trees in the sacred square withering away to nothing. All is
falling into place for the power hungry Queen Ysa, who will stop at nothing to
ensure the continuation of her line. Only one thing may stand in her way: a
long-ago prophecy that a Daughter of Ash will one day rise agan to reclaim her
rightful place on the throne. Queen Ysa’s shrewd machinations have seen to it
that none of the House of Ash remains alive. But deep in the swamps, in the
care of the witch-healer all need and fear, there is a young girl who cannot be
the witch’s daughter; a girl who by virtue of her beauty, elegance, and
simmering power can only be a Daughter of Ash, the one who will rise to fulfill
the prophecy - and the destiny of her birthright.
