A white stag and a dagger transform the life of Prosper, a Welsh chieftan's son. With Conn, his bodyservant, he leaves his isolated valley and joins the war band of King Mynyddog the Golden as a shieldbearer. For the Saxons have returned to threaten the northern tribes of Britain, and the Shining Company - a brotherhood of three hundred chosen warriors - must make a desperate attempt to repel invaders.

With the Company travels the minstrel Aneirin, who will keep their names and their glory alive forever more.

It tells the story so well that you might think you were there as it happened. Over all a great book.

Amazing

War story, full of action told from point of view of a young man, in retrospect. Good historical fiction based on true event. Battles are detailed but not unnecessarily violent, considering this is war. Use discretion with sensitive/younger children. Otherwise great “boy book” about friendship,loyalty and sacrifice.

Reality of war

Infantry combat and PTSD. She was a marvelous story-teller, a queen among them. To be honest, I think Tolkien was a hack next to her.
