About this audiobook
An uneasy peace reigns in Wales. It’s 1109 and the truce with England hangs by the thinnest of threads. While King Gruffydd ap Cynan’s rule of law holds in the north, a spirit of rebellion is rising in the south, as tearaway princes and rebels grow to resent England’s oppression of their homeland. And when Nesta, married off in a political move by England’s King Henry, leaves the safety of her husband’s castle to attend a celebration, the rebels seize their opportunity.
The truce broken, England’s rulers look to turn the ensuing chaos to their advantage, and to crush Wales under their boot once and for all. Gruffydd is left with a stark choice: enforce the peace he so desires for his land, and betray his countrymen, or risk everything he has built by going to war with the English once again. But the decision is soon taken out of his hands by those who ride for liberty from the depths of Rebellion’s Forge.
Rebellion’s Forge is the third book in the Blood of Kings trilogy.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A corking ending to a most enjoyable trilogy! Loaded with action between Welsh rebels and the English occupiers of Wales! Much brutality, especially the gruesome maiming of Sir Julian, an English knight, for which his friend, another knight, Sir Broadwick, vows to avenge him. Sir Broadwick follows his quest for years before the final confrontation. A mysterious rebel, known as "Diafol" [Devil] wreaks havoc on English supply lines. We follow Nesta in her loveless marriage to an English knight and her romance with a swashbuckling Welsh prince. Gwenllian, the tomboy daughter of Gruffydd, drives much of the action, attempting to save a Welsh prince by fleeing Wales with him and his brother. The author's historical notes on the background of several characters who really lived were especially enlightening!Highly recommended!
