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?

​And to what lengths will Megge go to elude it?
