About this listen

Love. Magic. Faith. By the autumn of 537 AD, all who are loyal to King Arthur have retreated to a small parcel of land in North Wales. They are surrounded on all sides, heavily outnumbered, and facing near certain defeat.

But Myrddin and Nell, two of the king's companions, have a secret that neither has ever been able to face: Each has seen that on a cold and snowy day in December, Saxon soldiers sent by Modred will ambush and kill King Arthur.

And together, they must decide what they are willing to do, and to sacrifice, to avert that fate.

The Lion of Wales: The Complete Series, Books 1-5 is also available as five individual installments: Cold My Heart, The Oaken Door, Of Men and Dragons, A Long Cloud, and Frost Against the Hilt.

I bet the story is good, it was good until I stopped. The narrator, I don't like him. The accent is stupid and he's boring.

I had assumed that this set of books would be average at best given that it is included as part of Audible membership but I was very wrong! Very listenable, I really enjoyed the stories and narration.

An unexpected surprise!

Entertaining, but, as a non-Welsh speaker, it was difficult to follow and I had to listen very carefully to the narration to work out who was who. It was quite some time after the start of the book that I actually realised who the King was, as it didn't sound like 'Arthur' at all. It didn't help that many of the characters kept changing their allegiances, either. It would have been easier to read this book in hard form instead of an audio book as I could have checked the names and researched the place names mentioned. Apart from that, I persevered with the book and overall, did enjoy it.
