vividly pictured as grandly beautiful, its people volatile, stubborn, and mystic.” - The San Diego Union “A masterful picture of Wales in the thirteenth century.
The book that began the trilogy that includes Falls the Shadowand The Reckoning, Here Be Dragons brings thirteenth-century England, France, and Wales to tangled, tempestuous life. The turbulent clashes of two disparate worlds and the destinies of the individuals caught between them spring to life in this magnificent novel of power and passion, loyalty and lies. But as John’s attentions turn again and again to subduing Wales-and Llewelyn-Joanna must decide where her love and loyalties truly lie. Llewelyn, Prince of North Wales, secures an uneasy truce by marrying the English king’s beloved illegitimate daughter, Joanna, who slowly grows to love her charismatic and courageous husband.
Thirteenth-century Wales is a divided country, ever at the mercy of England’s ruthless, power-hungry King John.
