​

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.
