The Doe and the Dragon

by Andrew Richardson

Prince Einion, The Impetuous Warlord of Gwynedd, boasts that he fears nothing. Deep inside, though, he is terrified of beautiful women and would rather face a hundred Saxon warriors than have to approach a pretty maiden.

Breena, a settler-girl, captures Einion’s heart when he comes across her in an enchanted valley. His tongue dries and ties itself in knots, rendering him incapable of speech. She runs away, fearing he is a spirit form the Otherworld --but the smitten prince vows to woo her.
When Breena is captured by Einion’s enemy, the prince must overcome sadistic raiders, religious intolerance, and an ancient, violent evil in his attempt to rescue her. Only then can he try to win what he most desires-- the stunning woman who terrifies him more than any enemy he has faced on the battlefield.

Reviews

[Gianna Bruno · Rating 5 out of 5]

A bit of a departure for Mr. Richardson, this book is a pre-Arthurian mix of his signature brand of supernatural horror and a love story. I highly recommend it for anyone who'd like to imagine how King Arthur came to be.

[Carole Moleti · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is imaginative and well-researched as well as an engaging read. If you like anything to do with Arthurian legends you will love it.
