In his battles, the young prince must use the Scrolls and van Horn’s guidance, the love of Margaret Drummond, and a game his father has banned to gain and hold the crown. But another, more important destiny arises within him....

Then, a tragic loss strikes at the pinnacle of his success. The Scrolls’ wisdom must help him find his way, or James IV will lose not only the throne, but a priceless gift meant for the world.

The author, Thomas Pizur expertly blended fiction and factual events into a creative and fascinating story. The dialogue was authentic and helped move the story forward at a good pace. Additionally, he provided vivid imagery that connected the listener to the characters and storyline. The amount of research that this accurate and deliberate blending of historical facts with fiction is tremendous! I ended the audiobook with a new appreciation for golf! The structure of the story was so well done that it was difficult to tell the fictional from factual pieces due to the manner in which it was presented by the author and narrator!

The narrator, Dannul Dailey delivers a strong and clear narration. Dannul Dailey’s performance allowed the listener to become so entranced within the story that putting the book down for a night’s sleep was extremely difficult to do! The reverence in which he delivers the words of the scrolls each time is mesmerizing! The reverence in his voice is almost tangible! Delivery, cadence, and tonal inflections are well-suited for the story and keep the listener drawn in!

Overall, this is a great book. It has all the merits of historical fiction complete with political deceit, romance, golf, and intrigue, and are well blended together seamlessly creating an exciting listen!

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

A way to help reach into your own deep thoughts

Truly well thought out story. Written in a way that gives a better perspective in life and death. 1st chapter is slow going, but meaningful and worth listening to the scrolls and its content.
