As she discovers more about Valla passion and betrayal; struggling to find her own skills in healing, love and kinship; her visions reveal looming disaster. Bera must face terrible loss to save her people.</p><p>Steeped in genuine Norse belief, mixed with British dark myths and legends, the story has emotional strength, and the powerful voice of Bera makes her journey feel both timeless and deeply empowering.</p>
