The Reckoning (UK edition)
This book completes the splendid sequence of novels on the struggle between the independent Welsh Princes and the growing English strength which began with Here be Dragons, continued with Falls the Shadow and is now completed with The Reckoning. The major figures in The Reckoning are the splendid dominant King of England, Edward I, and The Great Llewellyn II, Prince of Wales. His long love affair and eventual marriage with Ellen, daughter of Simon De Montfort, provides the strong emotional interest in the book, while the political machinations of Edward against the Welsh and the Scots, together with Llewellyn’s struggle to control the recalcitrant Welsh Princes provides the political and military drama.

And his beloved bride Ellen, daughter of Simon de Montfort, first disowned and exiled, is then cruelly imprisoned at Edward’s pleasure. Llewelyn’s love for Ellen is a bond that will not be broken – but Edward’s vengeance and lust for power know no bounds. And his own untrustworthy, jealous brother Davydd would force Llewelyn into a battle he cannot win … but cannot afford to lose. As the game of love and war prepares to play to its end, England and Wales cross swords in the final reckoning …
Concluding her magnificent sequence of novels on the death throes of independent Wales, Sharon Penman weaves a superbly dramatic story of abiding faiths, broken dreams – and enduring hearts.
