I love this era so so much, especially the times of King Arthur (which are referenced quite often throughout). I was really looking forward to picking up Between Two Fires after reading Avelynn by Marissa Campbell which has a very similar premise and is set in the same time period: Medieval Wales during the times when Saxon’s attacked constantly. **I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review** Reminiscent of classics like The Mists of Avalon and A Game of Thrones, and newer popular titles like Hild, Branwen’s story combines elements of mystery and romance with Noce’s gift for storytelling. Somehow she must save her people and remain true to herself, before Saxon invaders and a mysterious traitor try to destroy her. But when she falls for a young hedge knight named Artagan, her world threatens to tear itself apart.Ĭaught between her duty to her people and her love of a man she cannot have, Branwen must choose whether to preserve her royal marriage or to follow her heart. A young woman in a world of fierce warriors, she seeks to assert her own authority and preserve Wales against the barbarians. But the fledgling alliance is fraught with enemies from within and without as Branwen becomes the target of assassination attempts and courtly intrigue. Lady Branwen becomes Wales’ last hope to unite their divided kingdoms when her father betroths her to a powerful Welsh warlord, the Hammer King. Saxon barbarians threaten to destroy medieval Wales.
