The First Pendraig

About the book

Britain, 437 A.D.

The Roman legions have departed, leaving the Britons to fend for themselves. After years of civil war, there is finally a glimmer of hope for a prosperous future for the island.

Cunedag of the Votadini, a revered hero among the Britons, catches the eye of a powerful figure who seeks to dominate the entire island. Vertigernus, the de facto King of the Britons, offers Cunedag a deal: eliminate the Gaelic invaders that have plagued the region of Venedotia for generations and in return, he will be granted a new kingdom to rule and a lasting legacy for his sons.

However, Cunedag's final battle will be fraught with challenges and heartache. Internal family conflicts, political machinations, and a enigmatic cult of priestesses all stand in his way before he can raise the dragon banner in the lush hills of Venedotia.

"The First Pendraig" serves as the gripping finale to the Dragon of the North series, chronicling the rise of King Cunedag, a formidable warlord of the Dark Ages, as he forges the Kingdom of Gwynedd from the ruins of post-Roman Britain.
