Kingdom Armenia Vol. 1: Rise of Tigran the Great

Part 1: The Road to Parthia

In 1st century B.C. Mesopotamia, the authority of the Parthian Empire has reached the northern side of the River Euphrates. Farther west, the Roman Republic’s influence is continuing to expand into Asia-Minor. For the smaller Kingdoms like Armenia that stand between these towering eagles, it is a constant struggle for the very existence of their countries and cultures…

Prince Tigran of Armenia and his friends have reached manhood and will soon be in need of all the skills learned from the Royal Guard and their mentor, Captain Harat. Tigran grapples between his affinity for Parthia, where the love of his life awaits, and the pressures to remain loyal to his old uncle King, who is desperately trying to keep his kingdom from coming apart.

Now, the Parthian King of Kings himself is showing interest in the prince. Meanwhile at home, his uncle King, knowing his own time is near, is ready to entrust Tigran with an important mission within their own homeland. Danger and treachery surround Tigran and his friends, and with outside forces pulling him in opposite directions, the young Prince must face a destiny that may not be in his own hands…for now.

Kingdom Armenia is a new character-driven, ancient historical-fiction series focusing on the times of historical Armenia as a Kingship. This first volume in the series, Rise of Tigran the Great, will have five parts (books), and will center on Prince Tigran and his friends, allies, and enemies in earlier years.

Good story. Bad narrator

The AI narration degregates the experience. At times it's like listening to a non-English speaker read. with weird intonations and misplaced emphasis.

The story itself is not bad. It sounds like the author is adopting European medieval conventions to a pre-medieval Asia.

Recommend for Historical Fiction Lovers!

I know that Armenia is beautiful, but I know nothing of its history. This is a well paced book with good character development, several intertwined story lines, and bad guys to hate. A little romance is included, but not too much. I recommend.
