Of Darkness and of Light — Robbin L. Stoddard

In the 5th installment of the Seeds Of Legend series, Amrie Emrys continues her struggle to bring the Kingdom of Britain to peace and prosperity after years of war, famine, and plague. The specter of the dark goddess Cailleach looms over the land, and Amrie, with the help of a young wizard and a the Priestess of the Old Ones, wages war against her, bringing a temporary spiritual peace to her land. Yet, even while she is successful in her quest to rid the kingdom of the darkness Cailleach disseminates, the goddess continues gathering power to cast her evil pall over Britain. Even as the goddess works her dark magic, invaders from the Eastern Roman Empire and Europa threaten the physical safety of the Isle of Britain. King Cerdic of the Saxon Shore, father of Amrie's son Pendragon, and leader of the Confederation Army, struggles with ridding the isle of those who would seize both countries as their own. Political intrigue, magic, battle, and many surprising twists of fate provide the newest Seeds Of Legend episode with drama, humor, and will keep the reader turning page after page.
