BOOK DESCRIPTION
Making a much-anticipated return to Hild's world, Nicola Griffith's Menewood transports readers to 7th-century Britain, a land of rival kings and religions poised for an epochal change.
Hild is no longer the bright child who earned a place in Edwin Overking's court through her seemingly supernatural insight. She is eighteen years old, honed and tested, the formidable lady of Elmet, now building her personal stronghold in the Menewood Vale.
But old alliances are fraying. Younger rivals are hot on Edwin's heels. War is brewing – a bitter war, a winter war. Not knowing who to trust, Edwin becomes unstable and calls his young advisor back to court. There, Hild begins to understand the true extent of the chaos that awaits her and realizes that she must find a way to overcome the turbulence and fight to protect both the kingdom and her own people.
She will face the losses and devastation of all-out war, then must muster the determination to chart a radically different path for herself and her people. In the valley, her last redoubt, Hild draws strength from the fierce joy she finds in the natural world, while, little by little, her community takes root. She trains herself and her unexpected allies in new ways of thinking, learning what it means to gather and wield true power. And she prepares for one last bet: risking everything on one move for a better future.
Over the past decade, Hild has become a beloved classic of epic storytelling. Menewood surpasses him in every way.
