The highland clans have lived under Outlander rule since defeat at Colden Moor. Sigarni, a teenage huntress descended from the old royal line, wants no part in prophecy or politics, but her existence offers the occupied people a symbol around which resistance can gather.

To unite the clans she must grow from solitary survivor into commander and queen. Rivalries, betrayal and invasion test whether ancestry is enough to justify leadership, while visions of the future warn that liberation may require Sigarni to surrender the ordinary life she still hopes to keep.
