King James's banquet at Knockhall castle took place during a pivotal time in the history of Scotland and England. This novel, crafted in a modern and accessible tone, incorporates actual characters and true events of the day. It is a stand-alone novel in the Banquet series.

June 1589: Lord Sinclair, proud of his castle in Aberdeenshire, hosts the banquet to celebrate peace with England and the king's impending marriage. Celebrations have to be discreet, as the country is facing political and financial turmoil, but this won't be a quiet night's celebration for the king. It can't be, not for Lord Sinclair's sake.

The author balances documented historical records on the people and events of the day to ensure historical accuracy, blending it with a modern storytelling style that doesn't make you feel like you are reading Shakespeare. So step inside a world of kings, banquets, and extravagance. Imagine Netflix's The Crown, but set in the 16th century. Buy The King's Banquet today and leave knowing more about one of the most important kings and times in British history.

This is better than an audible original. It has the multiple voices but the historical content is what I really like. Rare to find a mix of both - this is the best historical fiction on audible by far.

Historical fiction but with a twist

This is a great audiobook. Such an interesting tale, I learnt so much about King James but the star of the show is the narrator doing multiple voices - so entertaining!

A richly detailed history of King James I of England's bachelor banquet, which in the telling reviews the Scottish English history of the late Elizabethian era.
