Will and his brother Ned are on the long march from the Fens to
North Wales, commandeered into the army of ditch-diggers heading
west towards Flint, where they will be preparing the ground for the
foundations of Edward 1's new castle. They are nervous and rightly
so--for not only is Ned a mute, whose abilities as a
horse-whisperer and herbalist make him suspicious in the eyes of
their English overseers, but they have been close to the enemy. Ned
had been secretly taking lessons in music from Ieuan ap y Gof, an
exiled bard, when the Welshman disappeared one night without
warning not long before Edward's officers came 'recruiting'. The
boys find themselves a long way from home, virtually friendless and
then captured by the 'enemy', suspected of treason and near killed
before they are able to escape. Finally, when all appears lost,
Will learns that love is sometimes harder to understand and to come
to terms with than death itself . . .
