Robin has made a powerful ally in the Duke of Lancaster. But he has made powerful enemies too: not only his childhood adversary Mortimer, but the sadistic knight Peter de Gray. Returning to England, he is awarded the fiefdom of Fernbrook in Lancashire, where he meets the beautiful noblewoman Joanna. But the wheel of fortune keeps turning and as the years pass Robin and his friends must face trials and tragedies: plague, war and political intrigue are never far away.

At the age of 30, Robin is an Earl at last - but not the Earl of Waringham, the ancestral title that he still hopes to win back one day from the evil Mortimer. England has seen other changes too: Edward III is dead and his successor, the boy king Richard II, is at odds with his uncle, the Duke of Lancaster. The introduction of a hated new poll tax brings about one of the most dangerous episodes in English history and Robin finds himself embroiled in the Peasants’ Revolt.

The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

However, feeling no certain calling despite a lively faith, he turns to the profession of surgeon, training in Paris and then hanging out his sign in Oxford. A local lord asks him to track the killer of a young woman whose bones have been found in the castle cesspit. She is identified as the impetuous missing daughter of a local blacksmith, and her young man, whom she had provoked very publicly, is in due course arrested and sentenced at the Oxford assizes.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

Intriguing story, awful background music!
Why add background music to an audible book?? So distracting and annoying. I wish it could be removed.....
The story is intriguing and I’ll try to stick with it if I can ignore the background.

Background music- Why?
I’ve barely started this book but the almost non-existent but really irritating background music is all I can hear so I’m giving up. Why is it necessary to have music at all? I say music, it’s more of a grating sound effect.

Absolutely first rate listening entertainment 😃
Just like The Scarlet City trilogy The Waringham Chronicles does not fail to deliver.
From the brilliant narration by MIriam Margolyes to the wonderful cast.
I loved it 100% and can’t wait for the next.
Thank you Rebecca Gablé, your writing is superb 👍

Masterful follow up to Scarlet City
Set some 10 years or so after the events of Scarlet City, this isn’t a sequel but it set within the same world with the same character.
The story is compelling, and the performance is great.

Excellent Audio book by Rebecca Gablé
Chose it initially because of the is narrator Miriam Margolyes and I love her voice. The book is excellent with interesting characters and I found it difficult to put down. Highly recommended.

Another Cracker! Fantastic Listen.
This is as good as any of the Scarlett City trilogy episodes.
I was hooked immediately and would highly recommend this title.
The performance of the cast and the narrator are once again outstanding.
Can’t wait for the 2nd instalment.

Brilliant
After enjoy the Scarlet City series so much, I was a little wary of being disappointed but, mercifully, this first book in a new series is anything but a disappointment! The characters are brought vividly to life and the narration keeps everything flowing. I couldn't stop listening, but now I have to wait until the next book is released!

Loved it.
My only con with this audio book is that it wasn't long enough, I loved every second of it and look forward to the next book!

A fabulous dramatisation
I totally loved The Scarlet City trilogy and miss my updates on Jonah. However, this is a brilliant alternative from the same author. Totally entranced from the first few minutes. Can't believe I have to wait till March for the next book. More from Rebecca Gablé!

Fantastic
A great performance by Miriam Margolyes in this and absolutely hooked. If you enjoyed the scarlet city then I imagine you’ll love this on too.
