Gyanhumara "Gyan" nic Hymar is a Caledonian chieftainess by
birth, a warrior and leader of warriors by training, and she is
betrothed to Urien map Dumarec, a son of her clan's deadliest
enemy, by right of Arthur the Pendragon's conquest of her people.
For the sake of peace, Gyan is willing to sacrifice
everything...perhaps even her very life, if her foreboding about
Urien proves true.
Arthur map Uther is the bastard son of two worlds, Roman by his
father and Brytoni by his mother. Denied hereditary rulership by
the elders of Chieftainess Ygraine's clan, Arthur has followed
Uther's path to become "Dux Britanniarum, " the Pendragon: supreme
commander of the northern Brytoni army. The Caledonians, Scots,
Saxons, and Angles keep him too busy to dwell upon his
loneliness...most of the time.
When Gyan and Arthur meet, each recognize within the other their
soul's mate. The treaty has preserved Gyan's ancient right to marry
any man, providing he is a Brytoni nobleman-but Arthur does not
qualify. And the ambitious Urien, Arthur's greatest political
rival, shall not be so easily denied. If Gyan and Arthur cannot
prevent Urien from plunging the Caledonians and Brytons back into
war, their love will be doomed to remain unfulfilled forever.
Praise for "Dawnflight," 2nd Edition:
"Intense." Jessie Potts, "USA Today"
In a violent age when enemies besiege Brydein and alliances shift
as swiftly as the wind, stand two remarkable leaders: the
Caledonian warrior-queen Gyanhumara and her consort, Arthur the
Pendragon. Their fiery love is tempered only by their conviction to
forge unity between their disparate peoples. Arthur and Gyan must
create an impenetrable front to protect Brydein and Caledonia from
land-lusting Saxons and the marauding Angli raiders who may be
massing forces in the east, near Arthur's sister and those he has
sworn to protect.
But their biggest threat is an enemy within: Urien, Arthur's rival
and the man Gyan was treaty-bound to marry until she broke that
promise for Arthur's love. When Urien becomes chieftain of his
clan, his increase in wealth and power is matched only by the
magnitude of his hatred of Arthur and Gyan-and his threat to their
infant son.
The sequel to the critically acclaimed "Dawnflight," "Morning's
Journey" propels the reader from the heights of triumph to the
depths of despair, through the struggles of some of the most
fascinating characters in all of Arthurian literature. Those
struggles are exacerbated by the characters' own flawed choices.
Gyan and Arthur must learn that while extending forgiveness to
others may be difficult, forgiveness of self is the most
excruciating-yet ultimately the most healing-step of the entire
journey.
