Brigid

Brought to you by Penguin.

Daughter to a slave mother and a chieftain father, Brigid is caught between two worlds. When her father barters her to a brutal husband, her desperate prayers are heard by an ancient goddess, who sets her on a new path – helping other women, bending the new Christian faith to her will to build a sisterhood and sanctuary for all who are oppressed.
But power has a price, and as Brigid rises to challenge kings and bishops, she must reckon with what she has become.
And as her enemies circle, eager to reclaim what she has taken, how much is she willing to sacrifice to hold on to her legacy?
