Description

The year is 936. The Dargan a Verdhin (Prophecy of Merlin), an ancient and precious Cornish book, traces the lineage of the kings of Cornwall, and is an icon of Cornish nationhood. Stolen by Saxons, its message suppressed, it lies in an Exeter monastery. But the Saxon King Athelstan, hungry for land, forces the Cornish to retreat from Exeter, fixing the boundary of their province to the west of the River Tamar. At once, Britons east of the Tamar become refugees. Among them are Gerrens, a disinherited Cornishman; Genevra, his resourceful wife; and Pascoe, their son, who works in the monastery. Join these refugees as they become fugitives. Follow their historic path to freedom, secretly bearing a priceless treasure, beset by danger, but sustained by the land and its legends.
Mike O?Connor OBE is a well-known storyteller, with a deep knowledge of legend and folk tale, and great skill with language. A bard of Gorsedh Kernow, he is respected as a violinist, songwriter and musicologist, and is known to many for
