Wales, 1093.

The warm, comfortable family life of young Nesta, daughter of Prince Rhys of Deheubarth, is destroyed when her father is killed and she is taken hostage. Her honour is further tarnished when she is taken as an unwilling concubine by King William's ruthless younger brother Henry, who later ascends the throne under suspicious circumstances.

But it is Nesta's marriage that will really change the course of her life. Gerald FitzWalter, an ambitious young knight, is rewarded for his unwavering loyalty to his new King with Nesta's hand. He is delighted, having always admired her from afar, but Nesta's only comfort is her return to her beloved Wales. There, she cannot help but be tempted by the handsome, charismatic and dangerous son of the Welsh prince, Owain. When he offers her the chance to join him in his plan to overthrow Norman rule she must choose between duty and desire . . .


From the award-winning and bestselling author comes the heartbreaking tale of a woman trying to survive in a man's world - a world where the men who would protect her are dead and banished.©2023 Elizabeth Chadwick (P)2023 Hachette Audio UK Historical Historical Fiction Romantik Kraliyet Orta Çağ

Love the historical accuracy, and descriptions of the era.
Got a little frustrated by the main character’s intransigence in the early part of the novel, however it redeemed itself later.
Perhaps I should try another novel!

Enjoyable

I am a big fan of Elizabeth Chadwick and this book is another fabulous story by her. Great historical detail and a very moving portrayal of the life of Nesta of Wales. The narrator was spot on. I listen to many audiobooks and this one was very well read. Download it, You won't be disappointed.

Fabulous book and the narrator was superb

Beautifully written book. BUT the dreadful pronouniation of Welsh names and places really destroyed the pleasure of this audible book. Please take the time to teach the person who reads this book to learn the correct pronunciation, surely this should have been done. As a Welsh person this really grated and spilt my enjoyment of the book.

The really bad pronunciation of Welsh names and places.

Nester was a princess of Wales. Used by a prince who then became King. Married off to a Norman. At least she could live in her own home that she had been dragged from as a child and returning as a woman. Young and hopeful of Wales yet being free from Englands rule. Nester had children to think about but still turned to Owain in her folly for Wales. She learn the hard way about men and life. But is very happy in the end
