The Saxons are massing....
Ceawlin, the Saxon war lord plans to take over the west of Briton, right through to the great river Afron Hafren and thereby control most of Briton.
The Kings of Caer Gloui, Cear Ceri and Caer Baddam join forces with their warriors, in the hopes of driving the Saxons back, they were all slain.
Angharad witnessed the great battle and saw friends and kin cut down.
She had been told to make her way to Afon Hafren, the great river, and cross over to the safety of the western mountains.
With Cynwyn, wounded grandson of Cynfael of Caer Gloui, they prepare to start their journey then meet a mysterious Briton dressed and acting as a Saxon. He offers to help but can they trust him or will he betray them?
With the wholesale slaughter of the Britons by the Saxons there are very few left to carry on the old ways.
Angharad is one of the few storytellers left and the only one who witnessed the great battle and is asked to tell it to as many of her people as she can reach to give them hope, which makes it dangerous to travel to many of the places.
Many people come to her to hear about the battle and the death of their kin. she travels far and wide telling the story, even to Rhydderch’s Northern Kingdom in the hopes of persuading the Britons to keep up the fight, but she soon discovers that it is not only the Saxons that they have to fight but also the holy men of the new religion that is sweeping through the island, forever changing their traditional way of life.
