England, 1171. Thomas Becket is dead, beheaded at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral. As news of his assassination spreads across the country and into Europe, Henry's reputation as a just and mighty king begins to disintegrate. Eleanor, no longer loyal, nor in awe of her husband, instigates the revolt she has craved for years – with Henry's three eldest sons as her allies against their father. Yearning to dethrone him and to gain power and liberty for herself, she begins to stir trouble at court. But when Henry discovers the plot, will Eleanor be strong enough to withstand his outrage? The punishment for treason is death. And what of the empire they have built together – can it survive when the royal family are at each other's throats?©2020 Blanche d’Alpuget (P)2020 Bolinda Publishing Historical Fiction England Royalty Fiction Marriage

Excellent performance (as always) in this entertaining series. Unsolicited advice to editors & publisher: Bad dubbing over a repeatedly mispronounced foreign word was JARRING and more noticeable because one was missed. Better left alone. Mistakes happen.

Dubbing is jarring

After weathering several delays waiting for the next chapter in this story, I was not disappointed! While I believe not completely accurate historically, the author's interpretation and enhancement of events, gives the story so much depth and interest.

I can't praise Colin Morgan's narration enough! His talent for giving the various characters unique voices is astounding!

Wonderful!
