When Brigid Anne Dunsmore discovers a loom in the window of McGregor's Five and Dime, she has no idea it's about to change her life forever. Because this is no ordinary loom. No, this loom foretells the future. It forewarns her that the kingdom is in danger, and that she must find Henry Bookbinder if they are to have any hope of saving it. But who is Henry? And in danger from what or whom? Sinister forces are at work. Tired of fighting both the enemy and "the traditions" that hold her people in their spell, Brigid forms a women's army that marches on her nemesis, Alaric the Third, and his evil forces. But can she keep the kingdom alive amid the awesome forces of nature and the fearsome creatures that work to destroy her and her people?
