Nanteos: The Dipping Pool is companion to The Shadow of Nanteos, described as "A wonderfully gothic evocation of Wild Wales". Both prequel and sequel, continuing the story of the infamous Powell family of Nanteos mansion and of the violent, secretive world of eighteenth-century Cardiganshire, it is a visceral, hard-hitting historical novel exploring life in the mansions and mines of the 'Wild West of Wales'.
