Hild is a blend of intuition and knowledge. She is brave and does not shrink from the violence that comes to her doorstep. However, she is also a lover of people, both male, and female and it is amazing how she serves them with a full heart. Her ambitious mother, who often referred to her daughter as the light of the world, pushes Hild to become the king’s seer. This task would later complicate and change the course of her life. It is easy to get entangled in Hild’s fate and wonder what will happen next.
