Ocyrhoe, a young, cunning fugitive from Rome, safeguards a chalice of subtle but great power. Finding herself in France, she allies with the persecuted, pacifist Cathar sect in their legendary mountaintop stronghold, Montségur. There she resists agents of the Roman Church and its Inquisition, fights off escalating, bloody besiegement by troops of the King of France, and shields the mysterious cup from the designs of many. Percival, the heroic Shield-Brethren knight from The Mongoliad, consumed by his mystical visions of the Holy Grail, is also drawn to Montségur - where the chalice holds the key to his destiny.

Arrayed against Percival and Ocyrhoe are enemies both old and new who are determined to reveal the secrets of the Shield-Brethren with the hope of destroying the order once and for all.

Alive with memorable characters, intense with action and intrigue, Siege Perilous conjures a medieval world where the forces of faith confront the forces of fear. Choices made by characters in The Mongoliad reach their ultimate conclusion in this fifth and concluding novel - and all of Christendom is at stake.

Angela Dawe sounds like she's tone-deaf. Her voice modulates enough that to be rather distracting.

Decent novel, poor narrator

I got a refund after 4 min. Books 1-4 had an incredible voice actor but this narrator sounds like Alexa with a lisp. Such a shame I’ll never finish this awesome series.

Unlistenable narrator!

Switching narrator for book 5 of the series completely threw the characters (and listener-me) off. It leaves the listener with focusing so much on figuring out the voices of the characters that much of the story is lost. I had the rhythm, tone, personality of the characters up until book 5 and could barely get through it. I only stuck with this book because I'd invested so much time already-I wanted to know how it ended.
Angela Dawe did a fine job of narrating and I know jobs are distributed to narrators but consistency is key in keeping your audience coming back.

I really tried to listen to the audio. I have the first four books on audio, with the same narrator for those four. This fifth is by one of the original writers. What I could stand to listen to was very good.
The narrator is absolutely the WORST! She has the strangest inflection and rate of reading. Just bizarre. Completely unlistenable.
I've bought the Kindle edition and listing with the talk-back feature on my phone and it's so much better!!

Narrator is TERRIBLE

*WHY?* Why did they change narrators?! Books 1-4 were good with the previous narrator.

The narrator for Book 5 is grating on the ear and has a loud, unmodulated voice when not speaking dialogue. It's awful. If this wasn't part of a series, I would have skipped the book entirely.

Awful narrator, good story

the narrator was awful in my opinion! I don't know why there was a change in narration for the 5th installment; possibly because of a shift in character perception, but it wasn't necessary. it didn't matter what speed I listened to the novel, the whole thing was presented by a Leslie, female version of Christopher Walken; clipped sentences and all.

had to finish the saga and glad I did, but...

This narrator sounds like my gps. I keep wanting to turn her down so she stops yelling at me. Just awful. Purely, completely, annoying. When she speaks in the different voices it's not unbearable. But the actual reading is like nails on a chalkboard. Is this an actual person? I'm actually confused whether it's a computer reading. Wish I'd listened to a sample before I used a credit. Ugh.

The absolute worst narration ever

I've read the other books in this series & enjoyed them. This one was ok but the story seemed forced. I got the audio version of this one for a long road trip. The narrator had a harsh voice & read at an odd pace. I almost turned it off....

Narrator difficult to listen to

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
the story is great no complaints there. I had to speed up the reading speed to compensate for the performer drawing out the pronunciation a breadth to long just to tolerate the performance. The normal accent of the performer was grating to my ears and will not listen another performed by this person.

story good narration annoying

Would you try another book from E. D. deBirmingham and/or Angela Dawe?

Not sure why they changed from Luke D. midstream...he had done an excellent job on all the prior books...this narrator is terrible, really annoying...a "reading" not a performance...

awful grating (new) narrator....
