Lily Dewaruile

Lily Dewaruile is the pen name of American writer, Leigh Verrill-Rhys, who lived in Wales for thirty years. Her love of the Welsh language, culture and history has inspired her fiction since her first visit to Rhuthun where she heard Welsh spoken for the first time. During her time in Wales, she wrote over twenty novels, many of which are still manuscripts, awaiting their debut.

Her first Welsh Medieval novel, TRAITOR'S DAUGHTER, was published while she was living in Wales. The photograph used for the cover of this book is of the most spectacular sunset over the historic town of Caerfyrddin, named for the medieval poet, Myrddin (the inspiration for the fictional character, Merlin), where Lily lived for twenty-five of her thirty years in Wales.

He was a man who needed a lot of one woman. This woman." - Invasion, Book 1 of the Pendyffryn: The Conquerors series, now available. Publication date: November 17, 2012.
