I have never read anything quite like this story and I know it will stay with me for a long time - in a way that only the best of literature can.

The story of Arthurian legend interwoven throughout the novel is absolutely convincing and compelling. Sumptuous language and a delightfully chivalrous plot are written with utter authenticity. If someone had told me that this was the translation of an original 14th century text, I would have entirely believed them.

It is the voice of the main protagonist though, which really captures the heart of the reader. Mark Thomas is a flawed, complicated character, wrestling conflicting desires and needs. His voice is written with subtle intricacy and a million details are woven in so skilfully throughout that the reader is fully able to imagine life in the remote corner of medieval Wales.

In my opinion, this is the best of all the author's work and I hope it finds the readership it so richly deserves.
