<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: New York: Ballantine Books, 1991.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Penman's characters are so shrewdly imagined, so full of resonant human feeling that they seem to breathe on the page. --<i>San Francisco</i><i> Chronicle <p/></i>Never forget, Llewelyn, that the world's greatest fool is a Welshman who trusts an English king. <p/>His father's words haunt Llewelyn ap Gruffydd, Prince of Wales, who has been ruling uneasily over his fractious countrymen. Above all else, Llewelyn fears that his life and his own dream--of an independent, united Wales--might be lost to Edward I's desire to expand his English empire. <p/>Alive from the pages of history, this is the hauntingly beautiful and compelling tale of a game poised to play itself out to its bloody finale as English and Welsh cross swords in a reckoning that must mean disaster for one side or the other. <p/>For anyone who has ever wanted to experience the rich tapestry of British history and lore, this bold and romantic adventure must be read.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A first-rate historical novel." --<i>Kirkus Reviews (starred review)</i> <p/>"Packed with bold adventure, high romance, and large characters whose acts of bravery, self-sacrifice, brutality and treachery are part of history." --<i>James Goldman, author of The Lion in Winter</i> <p/>"Full of brawling and plotting, murder and revenge and betrayal. . . . Another triumph for Penman." --<i>The Seattle Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>For many years while she was a student and then a tax lawyer, <b>Sharon Kay Penman</b> (1945-2021) worked on a novel about the life of Richard III and The War of the Roses.
