Description
The Reckoning by Sharon Kay Penman is the final instalment in a trilogy that explores the complex struggle between the independent Welsh Princes and the growing English strength. This gripping novel brings together two of history's most fascinating figures: King Edward I, the dominant ruler of England, and Llewellyn II, the Prince of Wales. At its heart is a long-standing love affair between Ellen, daughter of Simon De Montfort, and Llewellyn, which provides an emotional core to the story. However, it is also a tale of politics and power, as Edward seeks to assert his authority over the Welsh and Scots, while Llewellyn struggles to maintain control among the recalcitrant Welsh Princes. The result is a richly detailed and engaging narrative that explores the intricate web of alliances, rivalries and conflicts that shaped medieval Wales.
