Cecily longs to return to her beloved Edgeley Hall, where her father was lord of the manor. But now he has completely ruined her life. He is moving them to Caernarvon, in occupied Wales, where he can get a place for almost nothing, since the king needs good strong Englishmen to keep down the vicious Welshmen. At least Cecily will get to be the lady of the house at last—if all goes well.
Gwenhwyfar knows all about that house. Once she dreamed of being the lady there herself, until the English came and destroyed the lives of everyone she knows. Now Gwenhwyfar must wait hand and foot on this bratty English girl who has taken what should have been hers.
While Cecily struggles to find her place amongst the snobby English landowners, Gwenhwyfar struggles just to survive. And meanwhile the Welsh are not as conquered as they seem. Outside the city walls of Caernarvon, tensions are rising ever higher—until finally they must reach the breaking point.
I was sucked in at the mention of a character named Gwenhwyfar. I don't care which variation of the spelling is used; it's always one of my favorite names.
And... could it be? It this a historical fiction stand alone novel that may or may not involve Arthurian legend and, even if it doesn't, sounds awesome anyway?
Oh, so so so much want.

ReplyDeleteThat one does sound intriguing. I'll be eager to hear what you think about it once it arrives. My WoWs are for Fair Game by Patricia Briggs and Magic Under Stone by Jaclyn Dolamore. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI really hope this has some variation of the Arthurian story! The YA genre definitely needs some good ones.
