The First Pendraig

Britain, 437 A.D.

The Roman legions have gone. The Britons stand alone. The clouds of civil war have parted and there is hope of a bright future for the island.

Cunedag of the Votadini, hero of the Britons, has attracted the attention of one who would make himself overlord of the whole island. Vertigernus, King of the Britons in all but name, has a proposition for him; rid the region of Venedotia of the Gaels who have plagued it for generations. His reward? A new kingdom to rule and a legacy to leave his nine sons.

But Cunedag’s final war will be hard and full of sorrow. Familial strife, royal intrigue and a mysterious cult of priestesses must be dealt with before the dragon banner can be planted in the green hills of Venedotia.

The First Pendraig is the thrilling conclusion to the Dragon of the North trilogy, in which King Cunedag, a dark age warlord, builds the Kingdom of Gwynedd from the ashes of post-Roman Britain.
