The High King, Chapter 11 – The Fortress

Taran responds to Pryderi’s words in his typical fashion – by jumping up and whipping out his sword. Others do the same. Pryderi’s lords surround him in a circle, swords drawn. Gwydion demands silence. The High King Math tells Pryderi […]

The High King, Chapter 9 – The Banner
