Garad D. (skid721) reviewed on 4/2/2006 + 48 more book reviews

From the back of the book: "Never forget, Llewelyn, that the world's greatest fool is a Welshman who trusts an English king." His father's words haunted the Prince of Wales, five years after his ally Simon de Montfort had lost his life and his cause to the English Crown. Now Llewelyn feared that his own dream--an independent, united Wales--would be lost to Edward I's desire to expand his English empire.

Here, alive from the pages of history, is the compelling tale of a Celtic society on a collision course with a feudal realm. With this last book in the extraordinary trilogy that began with Here Be Dragons and continued in Falls the Shadow, Sharon Kay Penman has written a beautiful and moving conclusion to her medieval saga. For everyone who has read the earlier books in this incomparable series or ever wanted to experience the rich tapestry of British history and lore, this bold and romantic adventure must be read.
