About Ceridwen of Kilton

Ceridwen of Kilton - Book Two in the Circle Trilogy

The Lake Scene by Marta Roselló

Ninth-century Saxon England crumbles under the onslaught of a relentless foe - the Danish Vikings.  Ceridwen, a young woman with divided loyalties, watches as the peace and plenty she enjoys at the Saxon stronghold of Kilton gives way to wary watchfulness.  Her friend Ælfwyn, sold in marriage to a Dane in a desperate bid for peace, travels to Kilton and recounts the events that befell the fortress of Four Stones in captured Lindisse.  But Ceridwen is also confronted by Sidroc, the Dane she ran from, and cannot forget.  The head and heart of Kilton is the young lord Godwin, a formidable warrior struggling both against the Danish invaders and an unthinkable desire.  The Fate of all at Kilton hangs in the balance at a single terrifying battle, as the Danes attempt to extinguish it and conquer the whole people who would be soon known as The English...

Praise for Ceridwen of Kilton

Sexual intrigue that left me gasping...Ceridwen's world springs vividly to life - her heathen beliefs and the mid-summer bonfire fascinated me...I had to shut my eyes during the attack of the great hall...Powerfully moving and absorbing....
- Kitty Kennedy

I read all 3 books and they kept my attention focused for days. The characters of Ceridwen and Sidroc were human, believable, yet engrossing....Thanks so much for many fascinating hours.
