Cast your eyes to the summit, child, to Bury Down, once a hillfort of rock and timber, now but a low stone crown set crooked upon a great green head. Can you see the last of the setting sun, blood-red upon that granite ring? Your aunts will have made ready. Tell me, Megge, are you very brave?
Pour yourself a cup of mead and curl up for a visit to Megge’s world
Megge's Story Begins
Cornwall, 1275 CE On a sheep farm in the shadow of Bury Down grove, known for a thousand years as the Land of the Second Sight, a healer vows to face flames rather than fail in her one charge in this life: to bring her daughter to accept a powerful ancient book and vow to become her apprentice and follow the path of protector.
But when Megge touches The Book of Seasons, it burns her fingers and she hears a whisper. “Murderer.” Terrified, she rejects the book and renounces her birthright.
How far will Megge’s mother and aunt, the Healer and Seer of Bury Down, assisted by two great-aunts ~ Aleydis, a huntress; and Morwen, a bard and Megge’s dearest confidante ~ go to bring young Megge to accept her destiny?
