Between Two Fires

Wales, A.D. 597. The Saxons press in from the east and the Welsh kingdoms are too busy quarrelling among themselves to stop them. When her father betroths her to a powerful warlord, Lady Branwen becomes the fragile thread binding those kingdoms into an alliance.

Branwen finds a court thick with intrigue, rival claimants, and assassins who would rather see the alliance fail than see a young woman broker it. And when she falls for a hedge knight named Artagan, her duty to her people and her love for a man she cannot have pull in opposite directions.

Grounded in primary sources and the myths of the Dark Ages, Between Two Fires is the first book of the Queen Branwen series.
