About this listen
After Henry of Lancaster's rebellion has been crushed, a restless peace settles over England. But the young Edward III is no longer content with being his regents' puppet, and soon enough Adam is torn between his loyalty to the young king - and that to his former lord, Roger Mortimer, now co-regent and effective ruler of England.
Edward III is growing up fast. No longer a boy to be manipulated, he resents the power of Mortimer and his mother, Queen Isabella. His regents show little inclination of handing over their power to him, the rightful king, and Edward suspects they never will unless he forces their hand.
Adam de Guirande is first and foremost Edward's man, and he too is of the opinion that the young king is capable of ruling on his own. But for Adam siding with his king causes heartache, as he still loves Roger Mortimer, the man who shaped him into what he is.
Inevitably, Edward and his regents march toward a final confrontation. And there is nothing Adam can do but pray and hope that somehow things will work out. Unfortunately, prayers don't always help.

Story
Robert FitzStephan and his wife, Noor, have been temporarily exiled. Officially, they are to travel to the courts of Aragon and Castile as emissaries of Queen Eleanor of England. Unofficially, the queen demands two things: that they abandon Lionel, their foster son, in foreign lands and that they bring back a precious jewel—the Castilian Pomegranate. Noor would rather chop off a foot than leave Lionel in a foreign land—especially as he’s been entrusted to her by his dead father, the last true prince of Wales. And as to the jewel, stealing it would mean immediate execution.

Story
Ask Helle Madsen what she thinks about reincarnation and she’ll laugh in your face. Besides, Helle has other stuff to handle, what with her new, exciting job in London and her drop-dead but seriously sinister boss, Sam Woolf. And then one day Jason Morris walks into her life, and despite never having clapped eyes on him before, she recognizes him immediately. Very weird. Even more weird is the fact that Sam and Jason clearly hate each other's guts.

Story
Helle may believe in second-chance love, but she sure doesn’t believe in reincarnation. Okay, she didn’t believe until she met Jason Morris a year or so ago. By now, she has accepted that sometimes impossible things are quite, quite possible - like an ancient princess being reborn as an ambitious financial analyst. Finding Jason was like finding the part of her that had always been missing - a perfect match. But handling Sam Woolf, the reborn version of their ancient nemesis, is something of a trial. No sooner do you have him well and surely beat, but up he bounces again.

Sent to command an isolated fort beyond the Danube, centurion Flavius Ferox can sense that war is coming but also knows that enemies may be closer to home. Many of the Brigantes under his command are former rebels and convicts, as likely to kill him as obey an order. And then there is Hadrian, the emperor's cousin, and a man with plans of his own.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and no one is more desperate than Highlander Alasdair MacRae. His clan is on the verge of disaster thanks to continuous raids from the lying, thieving, murdering MacKenzies. Their latest strike has left Alasdair’s family on the precipice of starvation, and his brother badly wounded. The time has come to hit back, and what better blow to deliver than to kidnap his enemy’s daughter and use her to negotiate much-needed peace.

It is 1547, and Scotland has been humiliated by an English invasion and is threatened by machinations elsewhere beyond its borders, but it is still free. Paradoxically, her freedom may depend on a man who stands accused of treason. He is Francis Crawford of Lymond, a scapegrace nobleman of crooked felicities and murderous talents, possessed of a scholar's erudition and a tongue as wicked as a rapier. In The Game of Kings, this extraordinary antihero returns to the country that has outlawed him to redeem his reputations even at the risk of his life.

Good storytelling and excellent narration
Ms Belfrange is a good storyteller, deftly interweaving historical events and daily medieval life into the plot. Mr Patmore's narration is again spot on.
And again, my main reservation is with the main female character who has not grown up much since the first installment. By this time she must be closing on 30, mother of 5. She is still reckless and immature, extremely centered on her husband and children to the extent of failing to pass on some exceedingly important information to the relevant people, information that will have great impact on all concerned including her precious husband, the hero. It's like watching a horror movie unfold because the dumb heroine is too stupid to see what's in front of her nose. I hate it when an author makes a main character (usually the woman) into a brain dead nitwit so as to force the plot to go a certain direction. You know it's a train wreck in the making.
Another thing I have reservations about is that one of the villains (Godfrey) from the first installment manages to surface in every installment to finally meet his death in this installment. This character did not really add much to the story except as a rapist and a target of the female character's terror.
The ending between the hero and Mortimer was moving.

Good story of the 14th Century England
Brings to life the days of Medieval England. Good story on the main character Adam and what it was like to make your way in the world as simple Knight. Greed and ambition and cruelty was the order of the day.

Great book
An excellent end to the series, outstanding and gripping historical romance. It is not often that in medieval romance we have the life of a lowly knight. The story is very well written. I think though I would have liked a less harsh ending.. it left a bad taste. The narrator made the story come to life. Strongly recommend all the series.

A happy sad ending
I like medieval stories especially when the history is pretty good close to it I love love Adam and Kits life they're ups and downs their children this was a good book the ending was a happy sad ending I just wish there was an epilogue about the children or maybe more stories about their children because I think that Megan child was going to be the spitfire of her dad

Sorry to see it end..
Even when you know it‘s history and how it ends, but you still want a different ending. An epic romance wrapped up in well documented historical detail and characters. Highly recommend. Ticked all my boxes.
