Following this mysterious invitation, Edith sets off on a quest to the Castle of the Winds to find a lost family of dragon keepers in the mountains of Wild Wales. But all is not as it seems. Edith must guard her own hidden power, or she might not return to her friends in Ormdale--including the man who has come to love her. Will Edith make an alliance with the legendary Red Dragon of her dreams to safeguard her ancestral charge, or will she lose everything she has tried to protect?"--

I'm fairly sure that the Welsh guy complaining of the way the English treat the Welsh is going to turn out to be the bad guy here, for all that his words are portrayed as sounding reasonable. I'm getting very very uncomfortable.

It's also definitely a look to have a Victorian clergyman's daughter visit Wales and complain about Welsh people not being religious, given Brad y Llyfrau Gleision was 1847.

Welp, a character just got announced as “Arthur, Prince of Gwynedd“, and... this is a definite choice. This might be where I depart from this series, depending on how things go. Who knows, maybe it'll be amazing and not weird about “Wild Wales“ (quote) in a book set in the Victorian period, but I'm bracing to be severely exoticised and, thanks, I hate it.
