Description
This novel, set in Eifionydd between 1386–1403, intertwines the history of a Welsh landowning family with Owain Glyndŵr’s rebellion.
The story follows Dafydd ap Gwgan, whose perspective reveals both the call to arms and the contrasting voices of peace, particularly from the priest Gruffydd. Alongside figures like the French priest Etien and the king’s ally Ieuan ap Maredudd, the novel depicts a society strained by oppression and primed for revolt. Themes of hardship, faith, and the supernatural pervade, culminating with Glyndŵr’s triumph and the burning of Crugiath Castle—a symbol of hope for Wales.
