The prosperous Saxon settlement on the banks of Cibin River stands on the edge of catastrophe. Rumours of an unstoppable army have travelled faster than the horsemen themselves, but rumours cannot prepare a city for the Mongol invasion.
As fire and fear sweep across the land, one young woman is forced to choose between the home she has always known and an uncertain road . Survival will demand courage and a decision that will echo through generations.
