Magical Good Versus Evil

James de Ciutiis builds the magical world of Leono akin to King Authur and His Knights of the Round Table. Leono is filled with good versus evil, mystical creatures, Merlin, and the search for the inner power of the rising king. The descriptions in this fantasy world are filled with bright colors, sounds from creatures and surroundings, and scents to tingle the nose of the reader. Each character plays a role in this enchanted tale. Listeners can select more than one favorite to cheer on in battles of love and honor.

When a young man is raised to become king and be responsible for his community, he will have fears, doubts, convictions, and opportunities to rise to the occasion. King Richard becomes an endearing character facing unforeseen challenges yet reaching his destiny. His brother, Prince Henry, grows into the shoes of the next in line, overcoming his worries with a devotion to family and community. He wears his heart on his sleeve with pride. Exploration of the magical creatures' feelings provides an exciting dimension and tension to the story.

The narration by Marq Biagi highlights tension with his voice-acting techniques. The character voices are distinctive and perfectly executed. For example, the voices of the fairies are beyond outstanding. Mr. Biagi can elevate any book to an exceptional listen, and The Lion and the Unicorn is no exception.

Fantasy fans will be spellbound as the action ramps to an unexpected conclusion. When the facades are removed, the winners and losers reveal their truths. Readers will enjoy the revelations of inner strength and learn what provides long-lasting hope in this enchanted tale.

A story that is both familiar and uniquely novel!

Don't be confused by all the character and story development in the first couple of chapters. The Unicorn and the Lion packs a Game of Thrones punch with the comfort and nostalgia of King Arthur's Court. Fantasy fans will be glued to the talented voice work of Marc Biagi as he voice acts through magical characters and storylines that call out to your inner child and whisk you away to a world of mythical creatures and far away lands. I highly recommend this book to any fantasy lover!
