The award-winning beginning of the RAVENSTOW TRILOGY: stunning historical detail, beguiling characters and superb storytelling.
In the wild, windswept Welsh marches a noble young lord rides homewards, embittered, angry and in danger. He is Guyon, lord of Ledworth, heir to threatened lands, husband-to-be of Judith of Ravenstow. Their union will save his lands - but they have yet to meet...
