ALL THE AUTHOR'S ROYALTIES FROM THIS BOOK SERIES WILL BE DONATED TO PARKINSON'S DISEASE RESEARCH. The Blue Book of Viroconium is the second novel in the Pendragons book series. Following on from the Pendragon's victory over the Saxons at Badon, Prince Owain again finds himself fighting a major battle against the Saxons, though this time he must also fight a two-pronged attack from within his own lands. Gwen, with her family threatened by an unseen assassin, sets off alone into the Middleland Forest to find the killer she knows she is unlikely to defeat, and yet she has no choice but to search out and confront the most wicked of creatures. Gal, now a Red Cloak, is set to marry Seren but, lurking in the forest stalks the most dangerous of men, who will stop at nothing to make Seren his own. A less martial novel than The Black Book of Badon, The Blue Book of Viroconium introduces the reader to the most shocking of sorrows, tragedy stalks almost all the major characters but, there is hope for the Pendragon and his friends: the arrival in Viroconium of a golden child will change the lives of all who meet her; Owain's cousin returns to take his rightful place in the heart of Celtic Briton's defense; on the Isle of Mona a man takes the mushroom drink and makes a realization only the Merlin can understand. This book might well be the most turbulent of the five novels in this series, but it is the most compelling, more so because one of the main characters meets the saddest and most horrific of deaths. A love story, a tale of murder and magic and mystery, a tragedy intertwined with triumph, this book plays with the emotions of those willing to read it. If book 1 was my climb up the tidal wave of learning, book 2 is me surfing that tidal wave and loving every moment of it.
