Publisher's summary

Eleanor of Aquitaine has disappeared. After launching a great rebellion to destroy her husband Henry II’s reign, it seems she has abandoned her sons in the struggle against their formidable father. As treachery radiates from Scotland to the Pyrenees, tension between the kings of France and England erupts into war. Richard, the mightiest of the English princes, is determined to find his mother and avenge her. But Henry is more cunning than Richard or any of the other rebels anticipated and the fates of Eleanor, her sons and France itself, are in jeopardy. A tragic history of love, power and betrayal, The Cubs Roar reveals the destruction of an empire at the hands of a broken family.

Critic reviews

‘Is there an Australian writer more versatile than Blanche d’Alpuget? She throws herself into the twelfth century with astonishing élan to deliver a lusty, gripping account of the Plantagenets.’ (On The Birth of the Plantagenets) (Annabel Crabb, bestselling author of The Wife Drought)

Absolutely Fantastic Series!

A fabulous final chapter to a fabulous series! I enjoyed this series so much! In my opinion, the author's interpretation of historical fact and compelling story was very well presented. This series ticked every box for my love of both history and fiction!

While I believe I would have enjoyed very much reading this series of books myself, I think my level of enjoyment was raised exponentially as a result of Colin Morgan's narration! He has so much talent in regards to voicing the various characters. The consistency he maintained for all the characters, over all five books, is nothing short of amazing! A truly superb voice actor!
