Annith is a brilliant a young women brought up in the convent of St. Mortain, an ancient Celtic god still very much present in 15th century Brittany. Despite being unequaled with knives and bow, Annith has been refused assignment as an assassin by the Abbess even though her close friends, Sybella and Ismae, have already made their first kills. When a much younger and under prepared girl is sent out in her stead, probably to her death, Annith rebels, fleeing the convent. She hopes to aid the endangered Duchess of Brittany whose meager forces must protect their country from a French invasion. On her way, however, Annith meets Balthazaar, a Hellequin, one of the damned souls charged with bringing the recently dead to Mortain, but also breathtakingly handsome and her life is changed forever. This memorable adventure is a powerful tale of political intrigue and a heady supernatural romance.
