Firm but fair, he commands the respect of those he reigns over, and the love of Nesta, his wife.But then treachery strikes from the heart of the English ranks and peace and stability are quickly forgotten.

And when her family is threatened, she takes drastic action to protect it…In the mountainous rebel heartland of Cantref Mawr, the Welsh resistance has found a new figurehead: a fearless warrior, born with a sword in her hand, and with vengeance in her heart.The Warrior Princess is coming. And the English will know fear.
