The warrior Sulien ap Gwien and her lord King Urdo have finally united the land of Tir Tanagiri into a kingdom ruled by justice under a single code of law. But where many see a hopeful future for the land, others believe they sense the seeds of a new tyranny. Soon Tir Tanagiri faces the blight of civil war, and Sulien ap Gwien must take up arms against former comrades and loved ones, fighting harder and harder to hold on to Urdo’s shining dream.

Continuing the epic begun in The King’s Peace, this new novel brings the story of Sulien ap Gwien to a rousing and moving conclusion.

Book Excerpts

Read an Excerpt

I
 
 
The swallows fly low tonight,
swooping and soaring,
soon the rain come.
 
I trudge uphill to the dun,
children run past me.
My breath comes slowly.
 
They all held me mighty, then,
blood on the spearblade,
death in bright sunlight.
 
Better the spear had caught me,
in my youth, my pride.
Before my defeat.
 
It brings me grief, not comfort,
he died long ago
upright, like a man.
 
Very few care for me now.

Praise for The King's Name

"War is a tough subject to do well, but in this gritty, moving second and final book in the saga of Tir Tanagiri, British author Walton makes the strife of civil war not only believable but understandable . . . . Fine work."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
