Daffodils and Dreams

The weight of the crown presses heavily on Harri as the day of his coronation approaches. Surrounded by his gathered kin, trusted friends, and noble allies, he prepares to take on the mantle of kingship—but not without charting a new course for his kingdom. Among the honoured guests, Harri has invited the druids of the old faith, signalling a shift toward healing and unity. Central to his vision is the construction of a new healer’s hall.

Ffion, daughter of the Head of the Druid’s Order, arrives in Melthkior to fulfil her sacred role in the Heir’s Blessing ceremony. Intelligent, perceptive, and deeply connected to the old ways, Ffion finds herself intrigued by Harri—by his ideals, his burdens, and his unwavering resolve. But it’s the vision of the healer’s hall that stirs something deeper within her.

When unexpected forces disrupt the ceremony, goddesses Arianrhod and Creiddylad intervene, setting in motion a fate neither Harri nor Ffion could foresee—one steeped in dreams, curses, and the delicate bloom of hope.

Daffodils and Dreams is a rich and lyrical retelling of the Brothers Grimm’s Little Briar Rose, blending fairytale romance with the deep-rooted enchantment of Welsh mythology. As the fourth instalment in the Brodyr Alarch series, it continues the sweeping journey of Sealed with a Curse, where each brother’s fate is entwined with ancient magic, divine meddling, and the power of love to break even the oldest of spells.
