Hild is the king's youngest niece, with a glittering mind and a natural authority. She is destined to become one of the pivotal figures of the Early Middle Ages: Saint Hilda of Whitby. But for now, she has only the powerful curiosity of a bright child and the precarious advantage of a plotting uncle, Edwin of Northumbria, who will stop at nothing to become overking of Angles. Hild establishes a place for herself at his side as the king's seer, and she is indispensable - as long as she doesn't lead Edwin astray. The stakes are high - life and death - for Hild, for her family, and, increasingly, for those who seek the protection of this strange girl who seems to see the future. Drawing from the few records history has left us, Nicola Griffith has brought the young Saint Hilda's harsh, but beautiful, world to vivd, absorbing life. 600 00 $a Hilda, $c of Whitby, Saint, $d 614-680 $v Fiction. 600 07 $a Hilda, $c of Whitby, Saint, $d 614-680 $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 0 $a Christian women saints $z Whitby $z Whitby $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Christian saints $z Northumbria (Region) $z Northumbria (Region) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $x History $y Middle Ages, 500-1500 $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Christian saints $z Northumbria (England) $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Women $x History $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Anglo-Saxon period, 449-1066 $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Great Britain $x History $y 0-1066 $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 sears 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): $a Griffith, Nicola. $t Hild $d New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2013 $w (DLC) 2013022510 941 $a 1 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20160520013727.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=718566E21E5011E6B2133BA4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
