Synopsis

Hywel, the King of Dyfed, falls in love with Elen, the beautiful young daughter of the deceased King of Dyfed. Their betrothal makes political sense, as it unites the two kingdoms, but their love for each other is genuine. Hywel becomes a just and wise king, introducing reforms to the Welsh legal system and forging alliances with neighboring kingdoms.
 
After going on a pilgrimage to Rome to get his law code approved by the Pope, Hywel gets caught up in political intrigue and seduced by a powerful Roman noblewoman. Back in Wales, he has to deal with a rebellion by the eldest son of the deceased King of Brycheiniog. Despite these challenges, Hywel strives to be a virtuous and enlightened king, and remains beloved by his people.
 
Based on the life of a true historical figure, John Broughton's 'Hywel The Good' is the story of one of the most important characters in Welsh history, remembered for his reforms to the Welsh legal system, and his efforts to unite the kingdoms of South Wales.

    The empire burned in a single night. Its king fell, its armies scattered, and its crown—once forged in fire and blood—was lost to the ashes. 
    Now, in the fractured lands that remain, whispers spread of a hidden heir. Alaric, a reluctant wanderer burdened by secrets he barely understands, finds himself hunted by warlords, priests, and shadow-born creatures who all seek the same thing: the crown that could unite or destroy what is left of the realm. 
    Drawn into an uneasy alliance with a rebel queen, a thief with shifting loyalties, and a sorceress bound by prophecy, Alaric must decide whether to claim a destiny written in ruin—or to forge a new one from the wreckage. 
    But power is never without price. And the ashes of a fallen empire have a way of rising again. 
    Epic, haunting, and rich with betrayal and wonder, Crown of Ashes is the beginning of a sweeping fantasy saga about the weight of legacy and the fire of rebirth.

    Bergdorf Blondes are a thing, you know, a New York craze. Absolutely everyone wants to be one, but it’s très difficult. You wouldn’t believe the dedication it takes to be a gorgeous, flaxen-haired, dermatologically perfect New York girl with a life that’s fabulous beyond belief. Honestly, it requires a level of commitment comparable to, say, learning Hebrew or quitting cigarettes. 
     
    Our heroine, "Moi," described as a "champagne bubble of a girl about town," gets into misadventures with fellow socialite and best friend Julie Bergdorf, a department store heiress. When Moi notices that getting engaged brings about a glow unattainable by facials, she and Julie scheme and shop to attract the perfect PH (Prospective Husband). Sykes's debut is a pitch-perfect examination of the glittering lives of the young, rich, and fabulous living in New York.
