Book Description

"...an epic tale of conflict, faith and banishment...this reworked tale provides a graphic depiction of the cruelty of war and torture" - The Guardian

The Invaders' drones hear everything and see all. England is now a defeated archipelago but somewhere in the higher ground to the far west, insurrection is brewing. The self-styled kings of Wales, Ludo and Levello, take prisoners, but can they free the British Isles without the help of Islamic princess Shakira and the power of Pakistan, the only other country remaining in the free world?

Award-winning author Horatio Clare refracts politics, faith and the contemporary world order through the prism of some of the earliest British myth, the Mabinogion, to ask who are the outsiders, the infidels and who the enemy within.

About the Author

Horatio Clare (b. 1973) is a writer, radio producer and journalist. Born in London, he and his brother Alexander grew up on a hill farm in the Black Mountains of south Wales.

The book was widely and favourably reviewed in the UK, and nominated for the Guardian First Book Award and shortlisted for the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. .

Horatio has written about Ethiopia, Namibia and Morocco, and now divides his time between South Wales, Lancashire and London. He was awarded a Somerset Maugham Award for his book about bird migration, A Single Swallow.
