⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cristyn ferch Hywel lost her original betrothed and is now at the mercy of the strained politics in Wales. With her countrymen always fighting between themselves nowhere seems safe.
When kings or princes are plotting power struggles, the ordinary men and women are just pawns to be used as they please.
This is a medieval romance with lovely characters that take really unexpected risks at the most dangerous places.
This is part of a series but each book can easily be read alone.
I loved it.
