The war for human souls has been fought across the centuries. Its warriors have been Gauls and Romans, druids and Christian saints, an immortal sorcerer-king, and the Dark One, the Eater of the Gods himself. At every crux, when the slightest nudge could change the course of history, Pierette, a young Provencal sorceress, has found away to stem Evil's tide. Now the last battle looms, and all the rules have changed. Along the Viking-ravaged Loire and the wave-lashed Armonicanshore, good deeds yield evil results, Pierette's old friends may be her deadliest enemies, and a childhood fantasy her worst nightmare.
