The Fitzwarin novels reconstruct the borderland world behind the legend of Fulke FitzWarin. Shadows and Strongholds follows Fulke’s upbringing at Ludlow, his bond with Hawise de Dinan and the rivalries that shape his family’s fortunes in the Welsh Marches.

Lords of the White Castle carries the story into Fulke’s conflict with King John, his years as an outlaw and his struggle to recover Whittington. Together the books combine romance, Marcher warfare and baronial politics with the transformation of a real medieval rebel into a figure of legend.
