A novel by Catrin Collier
The second historical novel in a meticulously researched series chronicling the life of the man behind the legend of Welsh hero, Owain Glyndŵr, who fought so valiantly for Welsh Independence.
'In our eagerness to lead the English away from our headquarters and families, we appear to have walked into a trap, boys. We cab see the enemy looking up at us. They do not fight for the love of a land, a family, friends and freedom. Driven by greed they kill to sate the bloodlust of tyrants who enslave them with silver.
'We fight for our wives, our children, our people and Hiraeth. The sense of home and belonging Wales endows at birth.
'I love and respect you too much to lie. We are trapped. But God has given us a choice. We can remain here cowed, waiting for death from starvation or an English arrow. Or, we can face our fate like men of Cymru.
'Blade in hand we can charge down this hill and attack those who would steal our lives and birth right, giving them a taste of Welsh justice delivered by Welsh courage.
'I do not command, but beg. Sell your lives dearly, and if God delivers our death this day, let us meet it like Welshman. Sword in hand, stout in heart ready to deliver to the enemy what he would deliver to us if we allowed him. No quarter.'
Genre: Historical
