The ledger is open, and the debt must be paid.
In Book One, Ceredig carved a bloody, hard-fought existence out of a forgotten, damp rock, turning survival into a fortified stronghold. But survival was only the prologue.
Carrying the heavy, complicated bloodline of Arthur and Derfel Cadarn, Ceredig stands as a living testament to a fading age of legend. Picking up from the birth of Cadfael all the way through to Ceredig's final, unyielding days, The Bastard's Ledger: Part II dives deeper into the grinding reality of a kingdom in the making. As the cracks in the old guard show and a new generation inherits the walls, the math changes. Raising an heir in a fortress built on debt is a dangerous game, and time is a sharper blade than any Saxon iron.
Framed through the modern translations of historian Kyle Kauffman in his quiet Ipswich study, experience the unvarnished, gritty second half of Ceredig's saga-where every coin spent, every life weighed, and every drop of blood brings the legacy of the legendary shield-brethren closer to its reckoning.
From the cradle to the grave, the ledger demands its due.
