She is eighteen, honed and tested, the formidable lady of Elmet, now building her personal stronghold in the valley of Menewood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut old alliances are fraying. Younger rivals are snapping at Edwin's heels. War is brewing--bitter war, winter war. Not knowing whom to trust, Edwin becomes volatile and recalls his young advisor to court. There Hild begins to understand the true extent of the chaos ahead--and realizes she must find a way to navigate the turbulence and fight to protect both the kingdom and her own people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe will face the losses and devastation of total war, and then must summon the determination to forge 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, as, slowly, 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 wager: risking all on a single throw for a better future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the last decade, \u003ci\u003eHild\u003c\/i\u003e has become a beloved classic of epic storytelling. \u003ci\u003eMenewood\u003c\/i\u003e exceeds it in every way.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicola Griffith\u003c\/b\u003e is a dual UK\/US citizen who lives in Seattle, Washington.
