In 1081 Norman power is established in England but control of Wales remains fragmented. Rival Welsh rulers fight one another while marcher lords exploit those divisions to extend castles and influence westward.

Gruffudd ap Cynan returns from exile to recover Gwynedd and allies with Rhys ap Tewdwr, another displaced ruler. Their attempt to rebuild two kingdoms is threatened by betrayal and by the vulnerability of the families who give their alliance legitimacy.
