Man is cruel but the flowers will take their revenge.

'A masterpiece... an intricate, otherworldly, complex and dramatic novel that held me spellbound.' Barbara Erskine, Sunday Times Bestselling Author

Darkness is falling across the land. All that stands against it are three determined women: slave queen Goewin, the reclusive sorceress Arianrhod, and Blodeuwedd, a woman conjured from flowers. Can they unite against the deadly force who threatens them all?

The sadistic ambition of the magician Gwydion wreaks havoc across the forests, cliffs and fields of the kingdom. With their world at stake, Goewin, Arianrhod and Blodeuwedd must unleash their most uncanny powers to challenge him.

In this vital and visceral novel, Brigid Lowe casts ancient light on desire, sex and our relationship with nature to bring these Celtic heroines to explosive, sensuous, blossoming new life.
