There was once, long ago, a foolish king who decreed that women should not, and would not, inherit. Thus when a girl-child was born to Lord Cador, a Merlin-enchanted fighter of dragons and Earl of Cornwall, he secreted her away to be raised a boy so that the family land and honor would remain intact. That child's name was Silence. Now Silence must find their own place in a medieval world that is determined to place the many restrictions of gender and class upon them. With dreams of knighthood and a lonely heart to answer, Silence sets out to define themselves. -- adapted from back cover |
