But she quickly discovers that being the High King's daughter doesn't protect her from bullying and unwanted suitors. One such suitor is her father's rival, Conchobar, who sets himself against the son of Maeve's foster family for Maeve's hand. Trapped between two rivals, Maeve decides to escape and journey to find the one boy she truly loved, Odran, who is studying to be a druid and rumored to be ill. Along the way, she faces danger and intrigue and ultimately learns what kind of person--and queen--she's destined to become. Esther Friesner's remarkable gift for combining exciting myth and richly researched history beckons readers into the fascinating world of first-century Ireland.
