Description
Angharad of Llyr is heir to a matriarchy: a line of enchantress-queens that has ruled her island for centuries. Her destiny from birth: to rule as sole authority and ensure that her powerful bloodline endures for another generation. Devoted to her people, yet passionate and willful, she faces her fate with a tension as volatile as the magic that runs in her veins. But one day a stranger washes up on her beach; a vagabond without ties of family, vocation, or title. His freedom and exuberance draw her like the tides, and the meeting of their eyes is only the first law he will break with her consent. But a princess is not free to follow her heart. When an ancient evil stalks the island shores, awakening fae-born legends long-forgotten, the fate of an entire kingdom will rest upon one woman's impossible choice...between duty and love. Maturity Rating: suitable for mid-teens and up. Suggestive scenes and implications, but non-explicit. *story initially conceived as a prequel to The Chronicles of Prydain, a Welsh-inspired YA fantasy series by Lloyd Alexander. Certain characters, locations, and plot elements are his creations, but no knowledge of the series is necessary to enjoy this novel.
