The Spiral Dance — R. Garcia y Robertson

At the uneasy dawn of the Elizabethan Era, Anne Percy, Countess of Northumberland, follows her husband in doomed rebellion against the Crown. But defeat and damnation are the spoils of Anne's bravery and she is forced to flee the Queen's wrath--embarking upon a remarkable journey as strange and twisting as the ancient Spiral Dance that winds from birth to death and back. In the company of witch and werewolf, amid feuding clans and lawless brutality, her perilous odyssey leads her from castle to hovel to dungeon--across a breathtaking land of magic to the Ends of the Earth--where her Destiny holds cruel discoveries ... and a great and terrible price must be paid for even greater rewards.
