In 1136 a defeated force lies outside Kidwelly Castle as renewed war spreads through south Wales during the disputed reign of King Stephen. The collapse of English royal authority gives Welsh leaders an opportunity to challenge marcher power, but rivalry makes every alliance uncertain.
A warrior entrusted with a significant blade becomes caught between dynastic claims, vengeance and the survival of communities exposed to both armies. The novel extends The Blood of Kings into the generation shaped by the Anarchy and the Welsh resurgence.
