Buy the book from:
Wales, early tenth century. Hywel of Seisyllwg marries Elen, heiress of Dyfed, in a union that joins affection with dynastic opportunity. As he gains authority in southern Wales, he develops a reputation for measured judgement and attempts to strengthen his realm through alliances, administration and the reform of Welsh law.
A pilgrimage to Rome exposes Hywel to papal politics and personal temptation, while rebellion at home threatens the settlement he has built. The novel presents kingship as a test of character as well as force, following Hywel’s effort to unite territories, preserve his marriage and create a legal legacy strong enough to outlast the conflicts of his own reign.
