Treasure

The Circle of Ceridwen Saga, Book Twelve

By: Octavia Randolph

Narrated by: Nano Nagle

Treasure sought. Treasure surrendered. Treasure passionately guarded.

Hrald, Jarl of Four Stones, has forfeited the golden treasure of his wife, Pega, the richest heiress in Mercia. The shrewd and powerful Lady Æthelflaed, daughter of Ælfred, King of Wessex, knows just what to do with that gold, and with the young woman to whom it belongs. She moves with swift decision. Hrald must undertake a startling penance for the harm he has caused. The one reward at the end will be his right to again wed Dagmar, the daughter of the late King of the Danes in Angle-land. If he survives.

At Kilton, Lord Edwin is brought an urgent message, with an offer he has little choice but to accept. Its royal sender will soon follow and demand an answer. Edwin's older brother Ceric, and his wife, the Welsh Princess Dwynwen, are constant reminder to Edwin of a happiness he fears beyond him. A threat to Kilton reminds all of the fragility of peace.

Far from their Gotland base, the traders Runulv and Eskil, armed with goods and silver from Sidroc the Dane, seek treasure in Miklagårdr, known to the Byzantines as Constantinople. Silk and spice were their goal. Now they must strive to hold on to the treasure they have paid dearly to win.

Love this series so much

I’m totally hooked, I love this series so much. The period it’s set in is a welcome reprieve from modern times, an in-depth look into the details of life in the 9th century. The story is detailed and intriguing, the characters well drawn, complex, sympathetic. I eagerly await the next installment!

Historical nature of this book!

I loved the return of the characters I enjoyed so much, and I look forward to the next book with longing in my heart!

The Saga Grows

A definite continuation of a story started many books ago; don’t try to read it without first reading the others. Or at least the several ones before. You won’t regret it.
I enjoy the thoughtful attention to details that make you feel as if you are living along side each of the characters. Hints of art and craft and the power of God or Gods abound.
The narrator is perfect. I enjoy all her characterization of the principle people in the story and never get confused as to who is speaking.
In summary Treasure one of a long series of stories and adventure, sacrifice, love, loss and triumph that will keep you enthralled in the telling and make you long for the next book.

Detail of story! Loved it!!

Liked all. Especially the detail of trading in the East. So colorful and makes one imagine how it was in a great trading center

Love the Saga series!

Another outstanding adventure in this Circle of Ceridwen Saga. Octavia’s characters give life to historical fiction. Nano Nagle’s performance of these characters is awards-worthy!
