BRITAIN,
657 AD

Snow
is falling in the Kingdom of Kent when Ermenilda and Wulfhere meet for the
first time. She is a Kentish princess, determined to take the veil. He is an
exiled prince of Mercia, ruled by ambition.

To
win Ermenilda, Wulfhere promises her father he will take back the Mercian
throne. He will also renounce his pagan ways and convert to Christianity. When
the king agrees, Ermenilda is devastated.

Trapped
in a marriage she does not want, Ermenilda struggles between her unexpected
passion for her husband and hatred for his harsh, warmongering ways. Wulfhere,
initially secure in the knowledge that he has claimed the only woman he will
ever want, soon begins to realize that possessing a woman and owning her heart
are not the same thing.
