About this listen
Bern Thorkellson, punished for his father’s sins, denied his heritage and home, commits an act of vengeance and desperation that brings him face-to-face with a past he’s been trying to leave behind...
In the Anglcyn lands of King Aeldred, the shrewd king, battling inner demons all the while, shores up his defenses with alliances and diplomacy - and with swords and arrows. Meanwhile his exceptional, unpredictable sons and daughters give shape to their own desires when battle comes and darkness falls in the spirit wood...
And in the valleys and shrouded hills of the Cyngael, whose voices carry music even as they feud and raid amongst each other, violence and love become deeply interwoven when the dragon ships come and Alun ab Owyn, pursuing an enemy in the night, glimpses strange lights gleaming above forest pools...
Making brilliant use of motifs from saga and song and chronicle, Guy Gavriel Kay conjures a work of subtle, intricate richness, bringing to life an unforgettable world balanced on the knife-edge of change.

Complex tapestry, beautifully narrated
The narrative takes place in a fictionalised version of Britain and Scandinavia in the time of Alfred and the Viking raiders. I know the history well, and found this beautifully dream-like fantasy version absolutely absorbing.
The reader certainly added to the depth and complexity of it with his subtle and lyrical reading. However I will admit - as a Brit - that it took a while to settle into this story of our Isles being read by an American. I don’t know intellectually why this should be, and indeed he turned out to be the perfect choice, but… it was weird to start with.
