Cursed

De: Frank Miller, Thomas Wheeler

Narrado por: Katherine Langford

Now an original series starring Katherine Langford on Netflix!

The Lady of the Lake is the true hero in this cinematic twist on the tale of King Arthur created by Thomas Wheeler and legendary artist, producer, and director Frank Miller (300, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City). Featuring 8 full-color and 30 black-and-white pieces of original artwork by Frank Miller.

Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.

But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen?

Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave…

​That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else.

Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny.

But perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade.

Great retelling of an old tail.

I really enjoy this new twist on an old tail. I thought the narration was fantastic. The story was good, the characters were familiar but new all at the same time. I highly recommend listening to this book.

Really good book right with show loved and the pic

Really good book a bunch of. good parts when she cut off the guys arms in the Bering we she called on the tresse to help her amongst the boys try to messed with her the part when she begged her father to stay when her and Merlin met when she met Lancelot

Great book

Great book but the reader was hard to understand at first. Once you get used to her irish accent though its great

disappointed

Sadly, the story is as unsatisfying as an audio book as a Netflix show. So much unfulfilled potential. is there going to be a sequel where the Wolf Blood Witch rises up bearing the sword of power to strike down the Red Paladins? If not, why did Tom Wheeler waste my time? (twice)

pleasantly surprised

the story line was not what i had thought it would be. but the book was amazing none the less.

Awestruck

Masterfully written. Wildly illustrated. Beautifully read.

Although the series differs slightly in some aspects, both lead me to wonder, will there be another book? If so, will the audiobook be read with the same ease and grace of the first?

Volume

The performance volume goes up and down, but over all great story. I enjoyed it.

Could have been better

I like the story and the basic ideas of this book. I just felt it could have been executed better. More precise wording goes a long way in story telling. The misuse of the word footmen was annoying. I also felt the insults were weak. Merlin’s dialogue was to causal and sounded to young. Characters could have had more personality.

Fantastic!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and the main character who showed many qualities I admire. The world building was wonderful, and the writer is most accomplished. There's so much detail, it's almost unnerving how easily I can picture it in my head. Katherine's voice is so soothing and relaxing, an absolute perfect choice for this particular story. I very much look forward to the TV adaptation of this!

Cliffs edge

You just gonna leave me needing more like that sadist I can not wait for book 2?
