Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the year 1269, Prince Edward kidnapped the newborn offspring of the last prince of Wales Llewellyn ap Gwynedd. Edward named him Penfelyn, the boy with fair hair. Being the older son, Penfelyn grew up as heir apparent to the English throne, but the plan unraveled when a bizarre secret was revealed and the course of Pen's life changed forever. Going his own way, he accepted four, young female wards to be his pupils. Tutors and martial arts masters trained them to become highly polished warrior women. Upon completion of their education, Pen and the four young women formed a band calling themselves the Monks of Arden. They championed the poor and brought down the treacherous illegitimate sons of the Earl of Lancaster. In the course of their adventures throughout Europe they came to recognize a great unmet need among the people. There they left their imprint, which was ultimately lost to history beneath the shroud of the Black Death. Their great contribution was only resurrected in the twenty-first century when archaeologists uncovered a codex, The History, beneath the ruins of Beaudesert Castle.
