Story
At the height of the Middle Ages in the 14th century, King Edward III of England is determined to use any means necessary to expand his power and gain control of England's bitter rival, France. His own son, Edward, prince of Wales, is far from immune from his political plans. And when Joan of Kent, now free from exile, sees her chance for revenge, she takes it. A calculated plot to scandalize the royal family for revenge for her father's downfall and execution soon turns into the most surprising thing: love.

I purchased this title just to be able to listen to my favorite narrator’s voice. While not what I usually look for in historical fiction, I was entertained.

I am stuck on historical fiction and fantasy books. Rarely do I stray from those genres, but I am so happy I did with this one! The characters, the plot and the narrator make this a must listen!

Brilliant!
Reviewed: 01-28-20
This brought to life a possible moment in history more than any other novel or film on the topic. The writing is brilliant and engaging, the narrators’ performances superb. I almost past this one by, I’m so glad I did not!
