Description
Magnus has disappeared, and the truth about my bloodline still eludes me.
I’m preparing for our marriage, so the timing is not perfect when I’m called away to help at a difficult birth.
When I return, Magnus is gone. Soon after, I’m ordered before Dublin’s King. We’ve been refugees here since the winter.
The woman I helped has died. I will have to leave Dublin. The daughter of the king takes me to a seer who can help bring forth the powers I was supposed to inherit from my mother. We travel together back to England to look for my sister, not for Magnus.
You can guess who we find. A confrontation with Odo, William the Conqueror’s brother, follows. We are about to become captives, when something powerful happens. Something I never expected. Something that changes our fate. And then my bloodline is revealed.
Don’t miss the thrilling second part of Synne’s story.

The second book about Synne the healer is as good as book one. I enjoyed the accurate account of the details of how life was after William conquered England. A very violent way of life for both men and women as well. I loved the way Synne fought for her life and in what she believed. Being both a woman and a healer (maybe a seer as well) was a very dangerous way of living. I was again fascinated in the religious side of the novel: the old gods and superstitions proved indeed difficult to forget even though Christianity was and had to be the official religion. A very entertaining novel which can be read as a standalone but I definitely would recommend the first book as well because it is equally good. A great read!
I received a digital copy of this novel from NetGalley and I am leaving voluntarily an honest review.
