Thirteenth-century Wales is a divided country, ever at the mercy of England's ruthless, power-hungry King John. Then Llewelyn, Prince of North Wales, secures an uneasy truce with England by marrying the English king's beloved, illegitimate daughter, Joanna. Reluctant to wed her father's bitter enemy, Joanna slowly grows to love her charismatic and courageous husband who dreams of uniting Wales. But as John's attentions turn again and again to subduing Wales--and Llewelyn--Joanna must decide to which of these powerful men she owes her loyalty and love.
A sweeping novel of power and passion, loyalty and lives, this is the book that began the trilogy that includes FALLS THE SHADOW and THE RECKONING.

I LOVED these books. I read them as they first came out. I drove my husband crazy because I made him stop at bookstores at every opportunity so I could see if a new one came out. This was, of course before the internet was as it is.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had time in my reading schedule to join you because I know I would love to read them ALL again. Have fun. I'll be reading the synopsis posts.
