A bloody duel changes her course, and she finds herself stranded on the coast of Kernow bringing with her the possibility of peace. Iseult, the daughter of Irish kings and a woman of the blood, resigns herself to her inevitable fate: marriage to Lord Morholt. Mark is determined to unite the tribes of Briton and Ireland and forge an alliance that would see an end to war and the beginnings of peace. As Tristan defends the west, his uncle, King Mark, faces enemies to the east beyond the sea: the Irish Bloodshields.
In the wake of battle, he returns to Kernow bearing grave news, and the order of power shifts. In a land of fog and desperate tribes, Tristan fights to protect western Briton from Saxon invaders. Her retelling has always been the only one for me…but recently I discovered this… Soon after becoming aware of the story I found an old Puffin version by Rosemary Sutcliff that I’ve loved ever since. I have adored the tale of Tristan and Iseult since I stumbled it across it when looking into Arthurian legends.
