Aren has visions and she's been viewed as different since incidents in her teens. Her father went away to find younger sons of another farmer to foster and inherit his farm. And one of these young men married his daughter. But the day after her wedding, raiders came and killed her entire family, including her new husband as Aren hid in the root cellar. Unbeknownst to the entire village, blood mages fought elsewhere and the earth rebelled and fought off the binding which had kept the magic in check and the wildlings away. Now the Hob awakens on the mountain and finds himself the last of his kind. And he seeks to make a bargain with the village at the foot of the mountain -- his protection for a year if they provide him a wife.
Good read. Not Briggs best but worthwhile reading.
