Publisher's summary

Gruffydd ap Cynan is missing, his army scattered. Twelve long years have passed since the king was taken prisoner and his people think him long dead.

In the dirty shadows of Chester Castle, a beaten prisoner looks up from the squalor of the street. Dressed in rags, mocked and pelted with filth, he seems a broken man. Yet deep inside, the desire for freedom burns like the hottest furnace.

Nesta is a princess in fetters of a different kind. After the death of her father, Tewdwr, she is taken against her will to London to attend the court of King William, son of the Conqueror. There she will find that court politics, and the attentions of princes and lords, are just as dangerous as the arrows and swords of the battlefield.

The royal blood of Wales is scattered and weakened, but while it flows in the bloodline of Rhodri Mawr, hope remains - Hope that a broken kingdom can be reborn.

The Welsh Game of Thrones

This is an entertaining read and series so far. I didn’t realize the was so much turmoil amongst the Welsh kingdoms at the same time they were fending off the English. One criticism, Not enough sword fighting for my taste.

What happened ??

This was very disappointing from the start .the daughter of a tortured king cuddling with the very man that destroyed her country I found ridiculous and poorly written.the pace was there but the situations that the main characters are put in are not believable .
