Aeschild has lived her whole life in a village not far from the river Isen. As people of Rohan dwelling close to Isengard, they live in dread of attacks by the Uruk Hai of Saruman and the hillmen of Dunland. On a late autumn day in the wood, Aeschild receives a vision of a horse and rider during a spell of sleeping sickness. With omens of doom in the air, it gives her a pinprick of hope in the darkness. Hope that is fulfilled in the figure of Prince Théodred, second marshall of the Riddermark, as he rides to Helm's Deep to fortify it against the enemy with the Muster of the Westfold. As Aeschild's visions become stronger, it appears that her and the prince of Rohan are intertwined in their fates and their individual survival depends entirely on the other.
