Publisher's Synopsis
On his death bed, the King fathers twins who find they have amazing powers when together. Persecuted by the Britons for having an English mother, they flee north to find their relatives, pronouncing a terrible curse upon Camelot as they leave. Using their extraordinary powers, they defeat the invading Picts and are proclaimed heroes. Aedred becomes King at York, while his sister, Aedra, works as a missionary, healing the sick and feeding the needy. In time, the Church launches attacks against her because she refuses to absorb their twisted dogmas. Her conscience makes her return to Camelot and reverse the curse, but attempts are made on her life, forcing her to fake her own death. But a great evil ravages Britain, and she is forced to return from the grave, with all the dangers that presents.
