Happy Folklore Friday, everyone! 🌊

This week we're talking about one of my favourite Welsh legends, Cantre'r Gwaelod, the lost kingdom beneath the sea.

The story goes that there was once a great fertile land off the coast of what's now Cardigan Bay, protected from the ocean by a series of dykes and sluice gates. It was rich and green and full of life. But one night, whether through negligence or something worse depending on which version you hear, the gates were left unguarded, and the sea rushed in. The whole kingdom was swallowed before morning.

What makes this legend linger is the detail that stays with people long after they first hear it. On still nights, when the water is calm, you can supposedly hear the bells of Cantre'r Gwaelod's churches ringing up through the waves. There's something in that image that never quite lets go of you. 🔔

Do you have a favourite legend about a lost or hidden place? I'd love to hear it in the comments.

Enlightened Ascent ( The Pearson Prophecy 2)
By Jen L Grey
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Afraid the king will find out she's not truly dead, Ariah flees from the kingdom, leaving her family and enemies behind to think the worst. She thinks she's finally struck a bit of luck with the help of a prince, but when he betrays her, she realizes she'd only had a false sense of security.

On the run again, betrayed and in pain, Ariah vows to never be weak again. Soon, she finds herself in another kingdom as an untrustworthy outsider, but she's determined to make it her new home.

However, her fate begins to unravel in the presence of another persistent royal. Now, to fulfill her destiny, Ariah must make a decision as the war looms closer.

This was so much better than the first book Ariah really comes into her own. She takes charge of herself and her growing powers it shows what someone can do when they are pushed too far. Really enjoyed it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I never wanted the crown, the Throne, Elyeria... I never wanted any part of it. That’s my father’s world, not mine. Or so I thought.The false Queen needs to be stopped. She’s has gone too far this time. When you mess with any of my mates, you mess with me. Turning against one of my mates, I’ll do anything to protect him.Secrets are uncovered and bad guys become allies. There’s no such thing as rules in the war of the heart.I’m Winter DelaCort, Princess, Queen. No matter what you call me, I’m the true ruler of this Wicked Kingdom.

I didn’t end this one as much as I’ve enjoyed the others it lacked something. I thought a few bits were just eye rolling annoying. I found scenes with Kaiden a little uncomfortable too. Some of the language and words used I thought were just thrown in for a reaction. It was a bit meh.
