Today, I am so excited to share my new series trailer for Caledon . As many of you know, as well as Historical Fiction, I am also a massive fan of fantasy literature. Caledon combines the two. After launching the first book during lockdown, and the second only making it as far as an eBook, this summer will finally see the print version of The Stealth of Caledon . Next year, The Strength of Caledon (which was serialised on Smashwords last year) will be released, followed by The Wisdom of Caledon (2027), The Nobility of Caledon (2028), and The Zeal of Caledon (2029). It seems scary to be thinking so far ahead, but I'm eager to get the books finalised and shared with the world. So, enjoy the trailer and - hopefully - enjoy the books too!
This is a fascinating book, blending history and fantasy in a way which makes each seem somehow more believable. Marie Powell uses historical figures and settings to give an expert voice to her work and makes the reader believe that they could be reading an exciting history of Welsh culture rather than simply a work of fiction.
Powell’s descriptive writing is beautiful and evocative, although sometimes I feel a Young Adult audience may have preferred a slightly different descriptive to dialogue ratio.
Overall, a clever mix of fantasy and history to shed new light on a dark period of British history.
