What is The Region of the Summer Stars about?
Crow was an outcast among his own people, set apart by his ugliness and his biting wit; but when Owain ap Urien found him wandering on the battlefield, sole survivor of his Saxon kin, the young prince adopted the boy as fool and mascot, and took him back to the crumbling splendours of the British court at Caerlul, where Crow learned to survive among the feuds and treachery of the rival princes. But always he was aware of the shadowy, threatening figure of Taliesin, the king's poet - Taliesin who had urged that Crow should be killed on the battlefield, who seemed to have a secret knowledge of disaster yet to come. And in the end it was the unwilling Crow who held the key to that final disaster. In the third part of her Taliesin trilogy Frances Thomas once again re-created the alien, magical world of the Celtic kingdoms of the North, and completes her portrait of the poet-wizard who presided over their last, glorious heroic stand, but only at the cost of his own humanity.
