The spellbinding saga of Tara, heir to a 9th century Welsh king, immersed from childhood in a brutal male regimen, who matures into a striking mixture of vibrant beauty and martial-arts prowess. Forced by her Sires illness into command of his forces in a disastrous battle with the Saxons, she flees to Denmark with a Viking fleet, forming a romantic attachment with its chieftain, Sigefert. Separated from him, forced to make her way alone, she rises to command of a Viking trading fleet to Byzantium, is forced into a gladiatorial fight by the Roman Emperor, prevails, and is able to escape to Denmark. After an idyllic interlude with Sigefert, she and the other Vikings are mistakenly sentenced to death, forcing them to fight through to Britain. There they are captured as pirates, but prove their innocence, and Tara finally achieves the destiny foretold by her old Druidic gods, with Sigefert at her side.Brinckloe, William Draper is the author of 'Tara, Princess of Wales The Breathtaking Tale of a Magnificent Woman Warrior's Battle to Lead Her Nation', published 2000 under ISBN 9780595125074 and ISBN 0595125077.
