In the rugged valleys of medieval Wales, a spirited young heir of the house of Dynevor races across craggy ridges with his loyal hound, Gelert, answering a haunting call that echoes through the hills. He is a picture of youthful vigor—bright eyes, a jeweled pommel at his belt, and a heart set on freeing his homeland from English domination. Along his path he meets his three brothers, each marked by distinct looks and temperaments, as they return from a hunt laden with game and camaraderie.
The brothers’ reunion is warm yet tinged with the tension of looming conflict, for their mother’s warning and the distant horn of approaching English guests hint at danger gathering on the horizon. As they gather in the stone halls of Dynevor Castle, loyalties are tested and the first stirrings of a larger struggle begin to take shape, promising a tale of honor, rivalry, and the fierce spirit of a people defending their land.
