About the Book
The lord of Dynevor: A tale of the times of Edward, The First is a historical novel centered on a noble Welsh family during a period of political tension and personal trial. It follows a group of brothers as they confront questions of allegiance, duty, and identity during the power struggles between England and Wales. The narrative begins with them enjoying a moment of freedom in the rugged beauty surrounding their castle, their interactions reflecting both affection and rivalry. The arrival of foreign guests introduces uncertainty, as one brother’s growing friendship with a visiting noblewoman raises suspicions and discontent, particularly in another who harbors a fervent sense of national loyalty. Their father’s decision to extend hospitality to potential enemies stirs conflicting emotions, forcing the family to reckon with the complex demands of diplomacy and honor. As tensions mount, the brothers’ individual paths begin to diverge, shaped by personal loyalties and broader cultural divisions. Through vivid depictions of familial bonds and political unrest, the story explores the moral and emotional weight of decisions made under the pressure of looming conflict, while the contrast between youthful freedom and encroaching duty deepens the sense of inevitable change.
