Book 2 in the HIGH KING series. The 5th Century; the Dark Age. At one of the most dangerous moments in British history, after the Romans abandoned the islands, a man of the West known as Vortigern became King of all the Britons. Centuries later, the legends would call him a villain, but his people called him the High King. At his side is a young warrior who has earned a new name - 'The King's Right Arm'. Kerin Brightspear, the king-maker, Vortigern's greatest ally, has proved himself to the man who saved his life. But as they confront the Picts at Hadrian's Wall, enemies within are already plotting Vortigern's downfall. Mercenary captain Hengist and his Jute warriors have sworn allegiance, but will they betray him too? Amidst chaos and bloodshed, Kerin faces his greatest test as the family of the woman he loves plot to seize Vortigern's power, and the kingdom lurches towards civil war.
Autorenporträt
Born in South Wales, S.M. Davies read English at Cambridge, specialising in medieval literature and exploring the history which underlies the spellbinding legends of Early Britain. After graduating she worked as a professional indexer for leading publishers, usually on historical texts - everything from Ancient Babylon to World War Two. Since then she has spent her working life on the Gower Peninsula, first as a farmer, then a hotelier, and finally as a pub and nightclub owner. During these years she continued her research and wrote the first draft of the High King series, much of it based amidst the Welsh landscapes she knows and loves. She still lives on the edge of Gower, close to her children and their families, and shares her home with her sheepdog.
