The second installment of The Lost Queen trilogy follows more of Lailoken and Angharad as their stories develop in this Arthurian tale. Languoreth continues to fight to find her place as wife to Rhydderch, under the scrutiny of Tutgual King. The struggle between Christianity and the Old Way takes a smaller role to the internal struggles amongst the various kingdoms throughout the land. We are introduced to the Picts, the Scots, as well as the Bernicans, and of course the Angles continue to be a plague and raid in hopes of gaining a foothold.
This book is beautifully written and heartfelt. The internal struggles of the characters meaningfully exposed so that we might experience the pain when they are faced with choices which on both sides demand sacrifice, and the triumph when at the end of the day, all is not lost.
