Medieval Sagas

The Medieval Sagas follow the Welsh brothers Garyn and Geraint from the last Crusader campaigns in the Holy Land to Edward I's conquest and occupation of Wales. Family secrets, captivity and mercenary service connect distant warfare with the struggle for political survival at home.

The later novels move into the revolt of 1294–1295, when Edward's castle network becomes the target of a new Welsh uprising. The series combines crusading warfare, legendary objects and resistance to conquest within a continuous four-book adventure.
