Historia
The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant.

Historia
At the end of the fifteenth century, Burgundy was extinguished as an independent state. It had been a fabulously wealthy, turbulent region situated between France and Germany, with close links to the English kingdom. Torn apart by the dynastic struggles of early modern Europe, this extraordinary realm vanished from the map. But it became the cradle of what we now know as the Low Countries, modern Belgium and the Netherlands. This is the story of a thousand years, a must-listen narrative history of ambitious aristocrats, family dysfunction, treachery, savage battles, luxury, and madness.

In 1437, the Lancaster king Henry VI ascends the throne of England after years of semi-peaceful regency. Named "The Lamb," Henry is famed more for his gentle and pious nature than his father's famous battlefield exploits; already, his dependence on his closest men has stirred whispers of weakness at court. A secret truce negotiated with France to trade British territories for a royal bride - Margaret of Anjou - sparks revolts across English territory.

When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something’s amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh’s concern - no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.

Resumen del Editor
From the publishers that brought you A Game of Thrones comes the series that inspired George R.R. Martin’s epic work.
France became a great nation under Philip the Fair - but it was a greatness achieved at the expense of her people, for his was a reign characterised by violence, the scandalous adulteries of his daughters-in-law, and the triumph of royal authority.

Ancient Constantinople, the glorious capital of the Eastern Roman Empire for over 1,000 years, and the jewel of Christendom, is the setting for this incredible historical novel. No other city in the world could compare with it in grandeur, splendor, and wealth. And when it fell to the Turks in 1453, it must have seemed like the end of the world to Christians. Famed author Mika Waltari takes us into the last months of this dying city as revealed in the diary of John Angelos, a strange man hopelessly in love with the daughter of an eminent Byzantine official.

It is 1502, and Rodrigo Borgia, a self-confessed womanizer and master of political corruption, is now on the papal throne as Alexander VI. His daughter Lucrezia, age 22 - already three times married and a pawn in her father's plans - is discovering her own power. And then there is his son Cesare Borgia, brilliant, ruthless, and increasingly unstable; it is his relationship with Machiavelli that gives the Florentine diplomat a master class in the dark arts of power and politics.

At the centre of the book stands Henry VI, the pious king whose mental instability led to political chaos, and his wife Margaret of Anjou, who took up her arms in her husband's cause and battled in a violent man's world.

Catherine de Medici's father-in-law, King Francis of France, was the perfect Renaissance knight, the movement's exemplar and its Gallic interpreter. An aesthete, diplomat par excellence, and contemporary of Machiavelli, Francis was the founder of modern France, whose sheer force of will and personality molded his kingdom into the first European superpower. Arguably the man who introduced the Renaissance to France, Francis was also the prototype Frenchman - a national identity was modeled on his character.

Excellent in every phase
Would you listen to The Iron King again? Why?
I look forward to reading the next in the series. The author brings to life the historical figures with excellent detail.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Iron King?
The death scene of Phillip the Fair was both well-written and well-acted.
What about Peter Joyce’s performance did you like?
Mister Joyce utilized a wide variety of "voices" to give the characters life-like qualities
If you could take any character from The Iron King out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Jacque de Molay of course.

Just fantastic!
What made the experience of listening to The Iron King the most enjoyable?
The feeling of reality in the plot, because it is partly based on historical event and also because the characters act the way real people would.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Iron King?
When the adulterers are confronted with the evidence by the king, it came slowly but it was pretty intense.
What does Peter Joyce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Tone, emotion, diversity from the way he alters his voice alone I could tell which character he was voicing.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was truly sad for the princesses and truly angry at the king for the treatment of the Templars… what he suffered at the end, he absolutely had it coming.
Any additional comments?
This is a series I have to finish… my type of adventure.

GRRM Writes Good, Recommends Good
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Iron King?
"GUARDS!" is the first thing that comes to mind. Then there's Philip and the deer, Philip and Nogaret's papers, Philip on his deathbed, and also quite a few scenes that don't involve Philip. Almost any death scene is memorable.
What about Peter Joyce’s performance did you like?
All of it. How he narrates the text, delivers the dialogue, voices the characters... as far as I'm concerned he does it all perfectly.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Oh, yes. Midway through writing this review, I opened a second window and bought The Strangled Queen.
Any additional comments?
Although I can't point to any one aspect of this book as being brilliant, everything here is solid, even above-average. It's a good novel and, combined with a first-class reading, is well-worth what I paid for it.

Great medieval historical fiction
The time period was ripe for intrigue and cunning by all those involved. I want to learn more about this time and am exited to know what happens in this series

Marvelous performance!
The narrator is splendid. He fleshes out the story and being words to life. The story by itself is okay, but it is WELL WRITTEN! The author uses beautiful poetic speech all throughout the story. Bravo!

Very hard to follow (lots of French)
It was so hard to follow the plot, which I blame on so many names and titles being so French and sounding so similar that I couldn’t remember who was who. If you happen to know French, this probably won’t be a problem.
Also… the characters seemed rather underdeveloped. I didn’t really feel much of anything for most of them.
Plot seemed somewhat random. I thought the whole book was going to be about the affair with the two brothers, but it just kept going after that and I’m not sure why. Probably it would make sense if you continued reading the later books, but I don’t think I will as this one wasn’t too enjoyable.
