Griffin Books are thrilled to be able to welcome bestselling author Barbara Erskine to Penarth to celebrate the publication of the paperback of The Dream Weavers.

The year is 775AD, and the Saxon King Offa rules with cold ambition. His daughter, Eadburh, destined for an arranged marriage, is devastated when her true love is torn from her.

Angry and passionate, she rebels - and her defiance may lead to war. A past that will not stay buried Centuries later, unsettling visions disturb a cottage hidden amongst the Welsh hills, and Bea begins to have haunting nightmares.

The past is calling - and Eadburh is trying to exact her revenge. As dreams and reality weave closer together, will Bea have the strength to resist the secrets of the Saxons?
