Wild Hunt

by Elizabeth Chadwick 2 books in this series

The Wild Hunt sequence follows interconnected families living in the militarised Welsh Marches after the Norman Conquest. Arranged marriages, disputed lordships and shifting royal favour force its characters to build trust while defending estates exposed to both local rivalry and wider political upheaval.

The Coming of the Wolf serves as a prequel, beginning amid Norman violence in 1069, while The Wild Hunt moves to the next generation around the end of William Rufus’s reign. The books combine frontier conflict with domestic relationships and the gradual creation of new Anglo-Norman dynasties.
