Reviews

"The politics and factionalism behind the Rising are a tangled web indeed, but Llywelyn unravels them skillfully. Even those who know the story well will be surprised and rewarded by the way she brings back to life a group of brave men who went nobly to their deaths." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "The betrayals, slaughters and passions of the day are all splendidly depicted as Llywelyn delivers a blow-by-blow account of the rebellion and its immediate aftermath. The novel's...easy, gripping style will enthrall casual readers with what is Llywelyn's best work yet." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
