A Welsh princess. A Roman general. Their love story lost to time?

The land of the Silures, 382 AD

A marriage of power.

It’s 382 AD and Elen, a princess of the Welsh hills, is promised to a ruthless Roman general.

Despite warnings that her marriage is destined for heartache, Elen is determined to honour her vows, if only to protect her people?

A secret lost to time.

From her cottage window, author Cadi can see the lush green meadow where Elen once walked a thousand years ago.

But someone is desperate to destroy this ancient land and keep the past buried.

Can Cadi tell Elen’s story before it disappears forever?
