Overview

The year is 603 AD. Seven Saxon kingdoms dominate the east of Britain while the beleaguered British plot to reclaim their land. On a remote Scottish island, a baby girl, Artemis, is born. As a child, she is determined to unravel the mystery of her father's identity. As a young woman with the heart of a warrior, she leaves home to find her father and faces many dangers on the road. Fate leads Artemis into the kingdom of Northumbria where Edwin reigns as High King of Britain. In the turbulent court of King Edwin, Artemis is oath-bound to protect a princess, but can she prove her worth in a man's world? Is she worthy of wielding the Saxon Sword? 'A glorious journey through early-medieval Britain in a story that brings the many different cultures of the time to vivid life. Artemis is a splendid heroine who highlights the many roles women played in these societies.' Edoardo Albert (author and historian) 'This book was a pleasure from page one and I had to restrain myself from reading too fast to take in her lovely writing. So descriptive, you feel immersed in 7th century England. I love this time period and the author does a super job bringing it to life. Once known as the Dark Ages, Hill shows us what a vibrant and complex world it truly was. The clash of original Britians, Saxons, Picts, the remains of the Roman Empire, pagans and Christians makes for a compelling tale.' Jean M Roberts (author)
