Song of the Huntress
In ancient Britain, a damned immortal and a warrior queen fall in love – but are threatened by the Otherworld King, who wants to rule the living as well as the dead. An epic retelling of The Wild Hunt from Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong.
Two women walk on a knife-edge as war looms in ancient Britain. One is immortal and cursed. The other is a mortal warrior, doomed to a loveless marriage. But they must work together as dangers mount, or they'll both be as lost as the realms they call home. Now in B format.

Description
A beguiling blend of Dark Ages history, strong heroines, and magic . . . Captivating
- DAILY MAIL
Lucy Holland, the bestselling author of Sistersong, transforms the story of Herla and the Wild Hunt into a rich, feminist fantasy in this stunning tale of two great warriors, a war-torn land, and an ancient magic that is slowly awakening.
Britain, 60 AD. Hoping to save her lover and her land from the Romans, Herla makes a desperate pact with the Otherworld King. She becomes Lord of the Hunt and for centuries she rides, reaping wanderers' souls. Until the night she meets a woman on a bloody battlefield - a Saxon queen with ice-blue eyes.
Queen Æthelburg of Wessex is a proven fighter, but after a battlefield defeat, she finds her husband's court turning against her. Yet King Ine needs Æthel more than ever: the dead kings of Wessex are waking, and Ine must master his bloodline's ancient magic if they are to survive.
When their paths cross, Herla knows it's no coincidence. Something dark and dangerous is at work in the Wessex court. As she and Æthel grow closer, Herla must find her humanity - and a way to break the curse - before it's too late.
Magic, myth, political intrigue and a fierce and unique love story . . . I devoured it
- CASSANDRA CLARE, author of Sword Catcher
