Fortresses have sprung up in Caernarfon, Conway and Harlech, bastions of English might. But a new resistance is rising. Its factions squabble and bicker, however, dashing any serious hopes of rebellion. Rumour reaches Garyn, now leader of a mercenary band called the Blaidd, of a fabled sword that would enable its wielder to unite the Welsh with a single purpose – the Sword of Macsen.
