Sacrifice: Book 1 of y Ddraig

By Gwendolyn Beynon

Melangell is a 'Lifebringer', a dragon-maiden learning to protect one of the land's most ancient mysteries, y Ddraig. She expects to pass her years as have a score of teachers before her--sequestered, safeguarding an egg that barely moves from year to year, never using the deadly skills she's been taught in secret. But the King's relentless pursuit of this most sought after relic throws her into the middle of war and, adept or not, Melangell enters captivity with the egg to defend the sleeping dragonling within.Her abductor is Cai ap Cynyr--fierce warrior, loyal brother and sword-arm to the King. He's been hunting all of Cymry for the treasures Artwr demands to ensure triumph against the invading Angles. He uses the intrigue of the Lifebringer to master his armsmen, but when he spirits Melangell and the dragon egg further into seclusion, she grows captivated by her captor.But she is a Lifebringer, sworn only to y Ddraig. And fierce Cai must deliver the dragonling to Artwr to at last drag himself out of his brother's deep shadow. And all the while the egg readies itself to emerge.'Sacrifice' is the first in a series of three books based around 'y Ddraig' (the Dragon) set in sixth-century Arthurian Wales, featuring characters based on Welsh myth and history.
