It's the season of Fallow, the first century AD. In a misty northern bog surrounded by woodlands and wheat fields, lies a settlement far beyond the reach of the Roman invaders. A girl named Devout comes of age. She flirts sweetly with a young man envisioning a future of love and abundance. Seventeen years later, however, the settlement is a changed place. Devout's young daughter has an extraordinary gift. As worlds collide and peril threatens, it will be up to her to save her family and her community.
