Oracles of the Vinedresser

Saxon incursions prove invasion looms for Deron, prince of the Britons. He reluctantly accepts counsel from a mysterious enslaved vinedresser, the center of a web of dark rumors.

Despite the pervasive superstitions, Deron welcomes her intelligence. But he uncovers her shocking secret. And her dire situation.

Obeying her oracles may steer him to a costly victory. But her curse could drag him to a bitter end.
