<b>From the back cover of the Ace first edition:</b> ""<i>They have slaves in the Summer Country. Camelot is dead. Arthur is dead. Law is dead. Power rules.</i>"
<p>For twenty-eight years, Maureen Pierce led a fairly ordinary life, maybe a slightly tough one for a woman her age, growing up on the wrong side of the poverty line in Naskeag Falls, Maine. But she did all right.
<p>Then she met Brian Albion, and everything changed. If she can believe him - and Maureen has had some hard lessons in why you don't believe men - she carries a blood legacy that goes back to the old country. Only this is the <i>really</i> old country, the land of Mordred and Merlin, where deadly battles are still fought with magic, and a woman who carries the blood of the Old Ones is a prize to be desired - or a threat to be destroyed..."
