Praise For The Dragon’s Harp

I really enjoyed this novel… Rachel Pruitt is a natural master storyteller. This is a magical tale with rich characters, set with lovely authentic details in 6th century Wales. Inspired by the Arthurian Welsh legends, this is a fresh insight into the girl Gwenhwyfar, coming of age in a mythic Celtic fantasy realm, that seems so real that I couldn’t put the book down until I sadly finished it! Looking forwards to the next novel in this series. Thanks Rachel! — Jen Delyth, Welsh artist and author

 


 

“The Goddess is most definitely afoot in this engrossing novel by author Rachael Pruitt. The Dragon’s Harp courageously depicts the roles of mothers, daughters, queens and priestesses in a time when men fought battles while women abided by a far more ancient law. The tale is woven with lyrical language that resounds with the hills, trees, and rocks of a land where the mist between the worlds falls easily away–one small step beyond a fairy stone.

“Ms. Pruitt masterfully guides her reader through not only a mystical retelling of the Arthurian legend, but educates us with her historical expertise of the time. Her attention to detail drowns our senses in this world where kings rule the land, but the land and all who live on her ultimately answer only to the Goddess. I cannot recommend this novel highly enough. Ms. Pruitt is a gifted storyteller with a powerful story to tell.”
—Molly Padulo, writer and shamanic healer

Rachael Pruitt is a gifted storyteller, able to create vivid, three-dimensional characters in prose that is, by turns, lyrical and powerful. Readers who enjoyed the novels of Parke Godwin, Persia Woolley, Rosemary Sutcliff, and Marion Zimmer Bradley will love The Dragon’s Harp, in which Gwenhwyfar comes of age; best of all there are four more books to come…
—Sharon K. Penman, New York Times Bestselling author of Lionheart, Here Be Dragons, & Time and Chance

 


 

“From the first page I was drawn deep into Pruitt’s beautifully-realized Celtic realm, so vivid I felt as if I’d stepped right into the tale . . . With shades of The Mists of Avalon, the story is a magical blend of Welsh and Arthurian myth. All the characters are so vividly rendered they soon lay siege to your heart, and you find yourself loving them, rooting for them, terrified for them, and utterly captivated by them.
—Jules Watson, bestselling author of The White Mare Trilogy, The Swan Maiden, and The Raven Queen

 


 

“Rachael Pruitt is a natural story teller, and her love of the Guinevere character shines through every page of The Dragon’s Harp. It’s a pleasure to discover her take on this very old story.”
—Persia Woolley, author of The Guinevere Trilogy
