In Winter's Shadow - Tapa blanda

Moving retelling of the Arthurian legend from the perspective of Gwynhwyfar, completing the story of Gwalchmai begun in Hawk of May and Kingdom of Summer.
Full of longing, betrayal, intrigue, and reconciliation, Gwynhwyfar's tale is a rich, rewarding read.

"In Winter's Shadow" is a fine conclusion to a very satisfying trilogy. I enjoyed hearing the story from the perspective of a woman, and Bradshaw always made her narrative interesting and worth my time.

This is a heart-achingly poignant read.
