Gruffydd the conjurer returns to the Ystwyth Valley to revive the old days, re-establish the ancient dynasty of Welsh kings... and to reclaim his son. His absence is mysterious: could he have been living with Welsh-speaking Indians in America, finding the natural state of man? The valley is poverty-stricken and at the mercy of the English Earl, Lord Kirkland - and the English way of suppressing trouble is by the sword and the rope. Kirkland's heir, John, inherits the title and land, but his imagination is captured by Gruffydd's vision of liberty. In a quest to realize this dream, to know himself and to see life beyond the artificial confines of his mother's existence he is prepared to travel half-way across the world. In this sequel to Lord of Misrule, Gareth Jones presents a lively, imaginative and dramatic picture of a family divided, spanning eighteenth-century Wales, England and America.
