The Medieval Sagas

Travel back in time to a world ruled by battle, blood and destiny. Includes all four books in The Medieval Sagas series; Blood of the Cross, In Shadows of Kings, Sword of Liberty and Ring of Steel.

Blood of the Cross: As the Crusader knights desperately await the arrival of Edward Longshanks and his army, Sultan Baibaars targets his Mamluk hordes against their greatest stronghold in Syria, the Krak des Chevaliers. A thousand miles away in Wales, fourteen-year-old Garyn learns a disturbing secret. It will drive him on a crusade of his own: a quest to avenge his family, save his brother and recover the holiest relic in Christendom. As the Crusades ignite around him, Garyn learns this is a time of brutality and chivalry; an era with no place for the weak…

In Shadows of Kings: 1274. War is brewing between Wales and England. Henry III is dead. His son, Edward Longshanks, is on his way back from the Crusades to claim the crown and impose his iron will on a weakened country. In South Wales, two brothers, Garyn and Geraint, attempt to rebuild their lives after a terrifying ordeal in Acre. Desperate to heal old wounds and provide for their futures, the appearance of an old enemy tears them apart once more and forces them onto different paths. Meanwhile, the nobles of North Wales, nervous and frustrated at the inaction of their leader, make a daring pact to replace him with a figurehead to unite the warring factions against the English prince.

Sword of Liberty: 1294. After decades of fighting, Edward Longshanks of England has cemented his rule over Wales following the death of Prince Llewellyn, undertaking a vast castle-building programme across the land. A new resistance is rising but its factions squabble and bicker, dashing any serious hopes of rebellion. Rumour reaches Garyn, now leader of a mercenary band called the Blaidd, of the fabled Sword of Macsen. With it, he could finally unite the Welsh. But finding it will not be easy...

Ring of Steel: 1294. The Welsh rebellion spreads like wildfire. Caernarfon Castle, a fortress in Edward Longshanks’ chain of fortifications around Wales known as the Ring of Steel, has fallen to Madog and the rebellion. In the south, Garyn languishes in a dungeon with only days left to live. It seems his fate is sealed. As the four main warlords of Wales join forces to wreak havoc amongst the English settlers, rampaging across the country, Edward’s castles fall one by one before their onslaught. But across the border in England, Longshanks readies his armies to re-take his Ring of Steel – and there will be no mercy.

A searing and unforgettable series of medieval warfare perfect for fans of Christian Cameron, Angus Donald and David Gilman.
