Brigand's Blade (Tapestry of Cumbria)

By Joyce Holt

Gwen of Raven's Crag hastens to the lowlands with dire tidings, but disdainful townsfolk pay no heed to the rustic Brigand. The brash young warrior soon learns that, in battle with narrow minds, words may prove as tricky to wield as a sword. In the second book of the Tapestry of Cumbria series, seventeen-year-old Gwen fends off bigotry, an amorous shapeshifter, lecherous Frank traders, a man-eating kelpie, and her own rash impulse to leap into action without a moment's thought.Throughout this ill-fated venture, Gwen scoffs at the tale of a stuttering maiden from three centuries earlier, a young woman lost between two cultures. This timeslip historical-fantasy sweeps readers from Gwen's time into the perilous moment when the Roman stranglehold on Britain nearly came undone.
