About this ebook
Gwydion is an enchanting work of fiction that weaves a spellbinding tale within the fantasy genre.
The journey begins when a young princess, unknowingly bestowed with a magical stone on her birthday, embarks on an extraordinary adventure. Alongside her spirited brother and a band of other courageous children, they escape to a realm known as Gwydion. This alternate world is a place of giant birds, mysterious wizardry, and a ruler with a complex relationship with the Princess's presence.
Meet Poppi, a beautiful teenager with a heart of gold, who safeguards her wayward brother and harnesses the magic of the stone to aid her companions. Then, there's Christian, a prince yearning for a life as a soldier, defying the enigmatic wizard who rules Gwydion. As the story unfolds, you'll encounter Rolin, the iron-fisted ruler of Gwydion, who wields a matching magical stone that defies him when Poppi is near. Witness the fascinating relationship with Venar, the King of the Birds, who despises Rolin but treasures Christian like a son. And don't forget Chester, guardian to Poppi and Christian, who harbors a dark secret that will unravel in later chapters. Last but not least, meet Mercy, chosen by Rolin to oversee Gwydion, whose remarkable journey begins as a captured African girl and unfolds as a slave in a Portuguese merchant's mansion.
"Gwydion" transports readers across time, alternating between the present day and the mid-17th century. This duality infuses the narrative with the resonance of swords, medieval equipment, and potent magic.
As Rolin's insatiable hunger for conquest threatens to consume him, Poppi and Christian's arrival in Gwydion sets off a chain of events that unravel his ambitions. Poppi must conceal her knowledge of the magical stone, while Christian yearns to escape Rolin's grasp. The intrigue deepens when Christian discovers his true identity as the King of the Northerners, a small population residing across the vast expanse that separates them from Gwydion.
