Summary "Star of Mercia: Historical Tales of Wales and the Marches" by Blanche Devereux is a historical fiction work written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the complex lives and relationships of characters set against the backdrop of ancient Welsh and Anglo-Saxon culture, exploring themes of love, politics, and the personal struggles of various figures, including Ethelfrith and Ethelbert. The intertwining stories reflect both the historical and mythical aspects of early Britain, portraying a rich tapestry of human experience. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Ethelfrith, the young daughter of King Offa of Mercia, who is grappling with her emotions about an arranged marriage to Ethelbert of East Anglia. The day is vibrant with the beauty of nature, yet Ethelfrith feels a deep sense of isolation and internal pain as the weight of her future looms over her. She observes the arrival of Ethelbert, whose kind nature initially intrigues her. As the court gathers and the characters interact, Ethelfrith's conflict between duty and desire becomes apparent, setting the stage for the unfolding of her story amid the contrasting expectations of her royal lineage.
