Description
Bernard Cornwell's 'The Last Kingdom' series meets Elizabeth Chadwick! Epic historical romance in 7th Century Anglo-Saxon England - a time of warriors, kings and legends...
"Jayne Castel maps a classic troubled love story onto a much broader canvas of war and political intrigue in the first of her "Kingdom of Mercia" series, The Breaking Dawn." - HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY
BRITAIN, 641 A.D.
It is mid-summer and Merwenna of Weyham impatiently awaits her betrothed: a young warrior who marched to war, and never returned. She goes in search of him, travelling to Tamworth - the seat of the Mercian King - only to discover the bitter truth. He is dead.
In Tamworth, Merwenna meets Welsh battle Lord, Prince Cynddylan, who led a host of warriors to help Mercia fight Northumbria. From the moment Merwenna and Cynddylan meet, their paths are entwined.
In a journey from Tamworth, through the green heart of Mercia, and into the woods and mountains of Wales, Merwenna struggles between grief for the man she has lost, and her powerful attraction to this battle lord who appears to love only power and glory.
"An emotionally charged read from the first page. If you enjoy a well-written medieval romance with a fantastic hero and plenty of action along the way, then you will love THE BREAKING DAWN."
"None of us know what lies ahead. A blessing can end up a curse, and a tragedy can open doors you never knew existed. There's something about reading a historical fiction book that just makes you feel so homey and cozy while reading it. Especially when it's a good book. Like this one."
"If you love historical romances then you will not be disappointed in THE BREAKING DAWN. Although be warned - this is the type of book where you need to find yourself a couple of hours of solitude, turn off your phone, make yourself a hot chocolate and curl up under a blanket next to a warm fire - because you are not going to want to put this book down."
