Heart of the Dragon
(1988)(The second book in the Amelda series)
A novel by Marion Harris (Rosie Harris)
From her earliest years she had listened spellbound while he described the awe-inspiring scenery of his birthplace, and enthralled her with the legends of fiercely independent Welsh princes. So when she is ten and Rhys sets out on what he promises is his last sea voyage, it seems as if all Nesta's long-awaited hopes are about to come true...
But fate strikes a cruel blow, as Nesta is tragically separated from her father. She is forced to grow up in Cardiff, self-contained and unloved, with a will and imagination she cannot give rein to. But her faith in her father is never daunted, and at the age of seventeen, with England on the brink of war, she sets out to find him. Somewhere among the high peaks and slate quarries of Snowdonia she will discover the answer to her dreams and the fulfilment of those hopes forged so long ago...
