Castlehood - Neil Mach - Bog

This thrilling action drama takes place in a fortress on the turbulent Marches of mediaeval Britain. The protagonist is a lustful young woman named Ysldora. Ysldora is the mother of the hive. The sole female castellan in the wildlands between Wales and England, this predatory and promiscuous girl was born into a position of power. In her capacity as castellan, Ysldora oversees all of the castle's people, their possessions and holdings, and their military misadventures. In this tale of subtle exploits and geopolitical betrayals, she deals with honourable knights, rogue squires, and mercenary bandits.
Will her lustful warriors carry out her commands? Will corrupt officials compel her to submit? Will she maintain order using a deft combination of cunning, sexual manipulating, and ingenuity? Can she seize the initiative before her luck runs out?
Can she enlarge her domain without jeopardising her source of power?
