Description

Dark Earth by Rebecca Stott is a superb novel that radically reimagines Britain's founding. In AD 500, an island in the Thames holds secrets and dangers. Two sisters, Isla and Blue, have learned to rely on each other as they navigate their forbidden skills and the world around them. When the local Seax overlord discovers their secret, the sisters must flee to the walled ghost city of Londinium, where they find an underworld community of squatters and outcasts. But trouble follows them into this haunted city, where myth and magic can be both beautiful and deadly. This unique and extraordinary novel explores the experience of women in a world ruled by blood ties and feuds, where kinship is hard-won and survival depends on believing in the impossible.
