About the book: 1999 / Danish Earl Edon, by marrying a Celtic princess, wants to settle a territorial dispute in medieval Mercia. The fact that his chosen one is reputed to be a witch does not bother the brave earl. He is much more concerned about something else: the pagan princess, the priestess of the lakeside temple, is burdened by an ancient ban on marriage, which she does not want to violate, fearing the revenge of the gods..
