Meer over het boek

This trilogy set in thirteenth-century England and Wales follows master stone carver Harry Talvace, Ralf Isambard, Lord of Parfois, and their sons against the backdrop of the volatile Welsh border. The narrative weaves through deadly politics, clashing armies, and personal passions as the characters embark on a grand quest for justice and vengeance. Harry, marked by his Norman lineage, grows up fiercely loyal to his charming breast-brother, Adam, while discovering his extraordinary talent for stone carving. In his fifteenth year, Harry’s devotion to Adam and his artistic obsession propel the thrilling events of the first volume. He rebels against his father, fleeing England to save Adam, and becomes entwined in the lives of commoners and kings, navigating relationships with the courageous Gilleis and the beautiful courtesan Benedetta, all while being sponsored by the enigmatic Lord Isambard for a monumental cathedral. The second volume sees Harry's son drawn into the intrigues of Llewelyn, Prince of North Wales, bound by a blood oath to kill Isambard, yet struggling with his growing connection to the warrior lord. The final volume culminates in a gripping climax amid civil war, as loyalty and enmity intertwine, leading to unforgettable moments of majesty and heartbreak.
