Vortigern, driven by the ruthless ambition of his wife Severa, commits a crime so terrible it will shape the fate of Britannia. This is a dark, Macbethian saga set in the turbulent 5th century - a world of shifting thrones and treacherous hearts. Here you will find a proud tyrant, a death-dealing druidess, a monk seduced from his vows, two merciless Pictish warriors, two cunning Angle invaders, a voluptuous Valkyrie, battling dragons, a rightful but dispossessed king, and a procession of the most captivating women in legend. All told in a unique fusion of poetry and prose, where history, myth, and passion intertwine.

The author has taken a more sympathetic view of Vortigern than the old chroniclers, and presented him as a man who was manipulated by the women in his life and eventually driven mad. The latter proved to be a useful device for writing about Merlin, magic, shapeshifters and dragons without straining the credulity of the modern reader.

The Vortigern Mini-Trilogy consists of the following books:

- Vortigern and the Dancing Girl
