IN SHADOWS OF KINGS

1274AD and war is brewing between Wales and England. Henry III is dead and his son Edward Longshanks is on his way back from the Crusades to claim the crown and impose his iron will on a weakened country. In South Wales, two young brothers Garyn and Geraint, attempt to rebuild their lives after a terrifying ordeal in Acre. Desperate to heal old wounds and provide for their futures, the appearance of an old enemy tears them apart once more and forces them onto different paths. The nobles of North Wales, nervous and frustrated at the inaction of their leader, make a daring pact to replace him with a figurehead to unite the warring factions against the English prince. A stand-alone novel for fans of Ben Kane, 350pp in paperback with author's note on the historical research the author made about the True Cross, the discovery of America and Prince Madoc, evidence of medieval occupation in America and the capability of medieval sailors.
