England’s Archbishop of Canterbury is dying and with him the power of the Church. Seizing his chance, King Henry II sets out to enforce the rule of law that he has painstakingly established to bring violent, corrupt and criminal clergy before his courts. The ever-scheming courtier Thomas Becket uses his mastery of deceit, sycophancy and wit to undermine the monarch and the Plantagenet dynasty. Should Becket be elected as the next Archbishop of Canterbury, to the fury of Queen Eleanor and Empress Matilda, he will be one step closer to being applauded as England’s strongman. A story of ambition, jealousy, rebellion and downfall, The Lions’ Torment follows Henry, Eleanor and Becket in an era of political flux, betrayal and vengeance that leads to one of the most scandalous and tragic murders in history.©2019 Blanche d’Alpuget (P)2020 Bolinda Publishing Historical Fiction Suç Kraliyet Kurgu İngiltere

‘Is there an Australian writer more versatile than Blanche d’Alpuget? She throws herself into the twelfth century with astonishing élan to deliver a lusty, gripping account of the Plantagenets.’ (Annabel Crabb, bestselling author of The Wife Drought)
‘Blanche d’Alpuget writes an epic and compelling tale that brings the Plantagenets to vivid life.’ (Leigh Sales)

As with the other two books in this series, this novel was very well written. It takes the known history of Henry and Becket and travels in a different and very creative manner, which I find most intriguing.
It would be difficult to find a better narrator than Colin Morgan for this series.

Brilliant !

the third book in the series, is as enjoyable as the first two, albeit with a greater emphasis on pure narrative. The narrator does an excellent job, helping to distinguish between so many different characters, and therefore brings this good story to life.

Another great listen.

The third book is, as the two first in the series, really well written. To me, this story is even more interesting and captivating than books 1 & 2. I just wanted to listen and keep listening, not doing anything else. Needless to say, this book is my favorite in this series so far.
Colin Morgan delivers outstanding performance. It is an absolute pleasurable listen with great fluidity in the storytelling as well as managing to capture the nature of the characters with both charm and creativity in the many many voices.

Captivating story & excellent narration
