In Britannia, a land steeped in ancient legends and rituals, a child is born to the High Priestess of Avalon. Helena grows up to embody the peaceful magic of her island home. But her innocence is shattered when she catches the eye of the Roman general Constantius - and falls prey to her mother's ambition.

But when politics tears her away from her love, she is sent back to Britannia, alone and confused. As Constantius's power grows - and the Empire reaches out to destroy the very traditions she was taught to uphold - Helena must find within herself the faith to go on. With a strength beyond her years, she will travel halfway around the world to seek out the power that transcends the pull of the heart - and the reign of man...
