About this listen

"See what you have wrought, my beautiful enchantress!"

Cwen is a captivating tale of adventure, magic, romance, and destiny, set in ancient Germania and Britannia. Born common, the daughter of an Italian glassblower and a Saxon maiden, the raven-haired beauty possesses remarkable grace and cunning. Preferring the forest's solitude to village life, she develops a profound and fearless fascination with nature, where she learns to feel realities that cannot be seen. This passion for nature is exceeded only by her love of an ancient codex, a gift of her father's, believing it holds a key to untold secrets.

Her fate takes a perilous turn when she is abducted by a Sorceress of Seidr, plunging Cwen into a world of dark magic. Guided by unearthly powers, she rises to become a High Priestess of Ashtoreth. Yet, doubts linger in her heart. Discontented with the carnal and bloody rituals of paganism, she secretly seeks the One written of in the ageless codex, The Great Magician, who wields supreme power and is subject to none, not even death!

Cwen's life becomes a dangerous quest as she uncovers astonishing truths and confronts inconceivable challenges, torn between devotion to the moon goddess and a passionate desire for true enlightenment. A must-read for epic fantasy and historical fiction fans, the enchanting story of Cwen will transport you to a mysterious world where a young girl risks everything to find her true purpose and achieve an extraordinary destiny.

Although book seven in The Annals of the Heroic, Cwen is a standalone work. The previously published books in Gibby's Arthurian series are The Princess of Selgovae and the High King, His Majesty and the Prince of Lothian, The Captain and the Dark Queen, The Red Dragon and the Crown of Saxnôt, The Knights of the Argoat, and The Young Knight of Selgovae.
