A tale set in the seventh century with family and political infighting at its core. When King Penda dies after losing the battle to King Oswiu of Northumbria, the Mercians are devastated to realise they will be subjugated and have to pay tribute to their hated enemies. Elfrida and Alicia are the two women of this tale: Elfrida, feisty and courageous, Alicia, shrewish and devious.
