Buy the book from:
Kathleen O’Connor’s research into the legend of Cahira leads her to Anika, a fifteenth-century woman in Prague who refuses the passive future assigned to her. Amid Hussite conflict and siege, Anika’s aptitude for weapons and determination to act place her inside struggles over religion, political loyalty and survival.
The historical narrative is framed by Kathleen’s discovery that Cahira’s prayer may have produced a lineage of women who break convention to confront injustice. The novel does not equate courage simply with fighting: Anika must decide whether the sword serves protection, vengeance or self-glorification, while Kathleen begins to ask what the inheritance demands of her.
