Summary
A knightly fairy tale of royalty and dragons, of midwives with secrets and dashing strangers in dark inns. There was once, long ago, a foolish king who decreed that women should not, and would not, inherit. Thus when a girl-child was born to Lord Cador--Merlin-enchanted fighter of dragons and Earl of Cornwall--he secreted her away: to be raised a boy so that the family land and honour would remain intact. That child's name was Silence. Silence must find their own place in a medieval world that is determined to place the many restrictions of gender and class upon them. With dreams of knighthood and a lonely heart to answer, Silence sets out to define themselves. Soon their silence will be ended
