Description

"An evocative epic laced with myth and fact... Powerful phrasing, sensory descriptions... The Last of the Gifted is a classic." Ottawa Review of Books Catrin can see the future in a drop of water. Her brother Hyw can take the shape of any bird or animal. Only their magical gifts can protect their people from the invading English forces determined to bring down the country. The Prince of Wales needs three magical relics to rally the straggling Welsh forces. Catrin's gift of Second Sight may be the only hope for success-if she can outwit the English lord who wants to use her gift to capture the prince. Her brother Hyw is on the run with the prince and the dwindling Welsh army. To escape the betrayal dogging their heels, Hyw takes refuge in his evolving gift-until shifting shapes puts his humanity in jeopardy. With Hyw trapped in his magic and her betrothed in an English prison, Catrin faces an impossible choice: save her brother, or save the man she loves. This award-winning medieval fantasy series combines magic, mythology, and historical legends with the realities of 13th Century Wales. "Amazingly written, emotionally driven, and fantasy-fueled... a must-read for fans of the historical fiction/fantasy genres... 10 out of 10." Anthony Avina "Weaving history with romance and fantasy... this is a solid novel worthy of the attention of a very broad audience." Top Shelf "Well-written... Water Sight touches on historical events with the added taste of fantasy elements..." CM Reviews "A story sure to ignite the hearts of modern readers..." Danièle Cybulskie, Author, Life in Medieval Europe
