This novel of early Britain draws you into a desolate landscape that quivers with flame and shadow; an age-old war story of glory...A story dark and fierce and shining.” Starred boxed review, Booklist
A white stag and a dagger transform the life of Prosper, a Welsh chieftan¿s son. With Conn, his bodyservant, he leaves his isolated valley and joins the war band of King Mynyddog the Golden as a shieldbearer.
For the Saxons have returned to threaten the northern tribes of Britain, and the Shining Company¿a brotherhood of three hundred chosen warriors¿must make a desperate attempt to repel invaders.
And with the Company travels the minstrel Aneirin, who will keep their names and their glory alive forever more.
