Description
An epic historical novel enmeshed in thrilling Welsh history! For lovers of Cornwell's The Last Kingdom series, you must read Arianwen Nunn's books!!
It is 1109 and the Welsh warrior and firebrand, Owain ap Cadwgan abducts Princess Nest and her children from the castle she shares with her husband, Gerald of Windsor. Henry, Norman king of England, furious since Nest is also his lover and mother of his son, begins a manhunt to find Owain and Nest. While Owain's actions make him a figurehead for resistance to the Norman presence in Wales, not all Welsh nobles want to see him triumph: many have their own ambitions. In Gwynedd, Gruffydd ap Cynan and his wife Angharad, risk everything to hide Owain and Nest despite the vindictive efforts of Gronwy ap Owain, Angharad's brother, who would like to see Gruffydd and Owain dead. Owain's actions start a spark that leads to hostilities which could end in Gruffydd's downfall at the hands of the Normans or his Welsh enemies. Can Gruffydd and his family survive the greatest army ever led against Wales?
This sequel to ''The Welsh Traitor's Daughter'' is based on true events and characters. The story of ''The Welsh Warrior's Inheritance'' is one of forbidden love, jealousy, greed, ambition, betrayal, and courage against the odds. The Welsh are at their finest and their worst as life is lived on a knife edge. It is truly one of the most exciting times in Welsh history.
"The Welsh Warrior's Inheritance is a thoroughly enjoyable and captivating read. It is a page turner with a plot that makes it difficult to put the book down! Owain ap Cadwgan continues to fascinate; creating anguish on the one hand and humour on the other. Angharad creates such joy and steadfastness, with her daughter Gwenllian in particular, showing an indomitable strength of spirit.

A really compelling novel which has taken me to Wales in 1110. The descriptions of the country, planning of battles as well as its characters were such that I felt being there. I learned a lot about this country subjected to so much violence, and of course they gave it back... I found interesting the topic of honour to the family and Wales. Betrayals were of course a near daily problem. Quite a lot romance which counteracted the reigning violence but also allowed me to have a good insight into family life. A great read!
