About this listen

The child whose hands would hold three crowns is born in fire.

In 1218 an extraordinary princess is born. Her mystical powers and unquenchable spirit will alter the course of history.

Raised by her fiercely Welsh nurse to support the Celtic cause against the predatory English king, Princess Eleyne is taught to worship the old gods and to look into the future and the past. However, unable to identify time and place in her terrifying visions, she is powerless to avert forthcoming tragedy…

Despite impassioned resistance, Eleyne’s world is shaped by powerful men – but her tempestuous life and loves tie her to the destinies of England, Scotland and Wales…

Over the years I have read all of Barbara Erskine’s books apart from this one. I’ve owned a hardback copy since its first publication but, for some reason, despite numerous attempts, I couldn’t get past the first few chapters.
Having it as an audiobook changed everything.
It’s every bit as good as all of the other books and I devoured it. The historical detail is astonishing, tying in, as it does nicely, with Kingdom of Shadows.
My only niggle is with the narration. Whilst being excellent overall, I find it a bit annoying when well known and familiar words are pronounced incorrectly by the narrator. Just my own opinion but irritating to an English purist.
