Hild is a historical novel by Nicola Griffith set in the 7th Century, depicting the life of St. Hilda of Whitby. The book portrays Hild’s rise from her lowly birth to becoming one of the most powerful women in Anglo-Saxon England. The novel is driven by Hild’s intelligence, strategic acumen, and rare ability to forecast the future, earning her the title of the King’s Seer. However, this brings its challenges as she walks a thin line between success and survival in this dynamic and precarious political environment.
