Publisher's Synopsis
In the Kingdom of Felara, power is as fragile as the traditions that uphold it, shaped by hidden truths and the choices of those bold enough to challenge fate. As the kingdom teeters on the brink of conspiracy, a group of unlikely individuals finds their lives entangled in a journey of love, survival, and self-discovery.
A palace guard, raised to serve and obey, begins to question where his loyalties truly lie. A young woman, drawn to a simple letter, embarks on a quest to uncover its meaning, unaware of the legacy it holds. A cunning thief, always one step ahead of his pursuers, is forced to confront the identity he has spent years trying to escape. A determined young man from the forests sets out to rescue the one he holds dearest. And a ruler must face the shadows of his family's past before they consume the soul of the kingdom.
With tensions rising and a conspiracy closing in on the throne, each must navigate a world where love is as much a risk as it is a refuge, where survival demands both resilience and vulnerability, and where discovering one's true self may come at the cost of everything once held dear.
Set in a richly imagined medieval world, loosely inspired by Welsh culture and language, Lament of a Kingdom weaves intricate world-building with deeply personal struggles, exploring questions of purpose, belonging, and the relationships that define us.
For readers who enjoy immersive storytelling, layered character arcs, and a world where history, ambition, and destiny collide, this novel delivers a journey that lingers long after the final page is turned.
