She will whisper an empire into existence - but all stories have a way of getting away from their creator... 'Full of adventure...a celebration of the power of storytelling' GUARDIAN In the wake of an unimportant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history.
