Queen Branwen — Book 2
Dark Winds Rising
Three years of peace end when Pictish sails appear on the horizon.
Three years after uniting the Welsh against the Saxons, Queen Branwen has the throne, the man she loves, and a young son. Then Pictish raiders begin harrying her shores.
Rallying her people once more — and pregnant with her second child — Branwen faces her most dangerous adversary yet in the Queen of the Picts: ruthless, cunning, and willing to set a civil war burning inside Branwen's own kingdom. Meanwhile an assassin moves through the court with her son as the target.
Dark Winds Rising is the second book of the Queen Branwen series.
