Resumen del Editor

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 eight 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

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

Cursed Review

Fast paced book I think I would have preferred to have read it instead of listening to it. I couldn't tell when different characters came in. Even when there was an intense part of the book the tone of the narrator didn't change. I really like the story but the narrator was not too engaging. I would suggest people to read this book.

its good

My only complaints is the ending if is no other books to this series if it's even a series it definitely left it open

The lack of ending

It really kills that there still isn’t an ending to this story. I’d hoped when the show was cancelled, they’d still write the sequel but now I’m hearing it’s over. Super frustrating for those of us who enjoy the story. Not sure if it’s about the money but why else wouldn’t they write the sequel. In my mind, Nimue and Lancelot will fall in love and raise Squirrel. They’ll bond over their trauma and scars. Of course Gwen and Arthur will also bond while trying to put a righteous king on the throne (which will end up being Arthur). Maybe I should just write it myself. Thank God for autocorrect lol.

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!
