À propos de cet audio
The Mists of Avalon meets the world of Philippa Gregory in the thrilling first novel of a debut trilogy that reveals the untold story of Languoreth - a forgotten queen of sixth-century Scotland - twin sister of the man who inspired the legend of Merlin.
I write because I have seen the darkness that will come. Already there are those who seek to tell a new history....
In a land of mountains and mist, tradition and superstition, Languoreth and her brother Lailoken are raised in the Old Way of their ancestors. But in Scotland, a new religion is rising, one that brings disruption, bloodshed, and riot. And even as her family faces the burgeoning forces of Christianity, the Anglo-Saxons, bent on colonization, are encroaching from the east. When conflict brings the hero Emrys Pendragon to her father’s door, Languoreth finds love with one of his warriors. Her deep connection to Maelgwn is forged by enchantment, but she is promised in marriage to Rhydderch, son of a Christian king. As Languoreth is catapulted into a world of violence and political intrigue, she must learn to adapt. Together with her brother - a warrior and druid known to history as Myrddin - Languoreth must assume her duty to fight for the preservation of the Old Way and the survival of her kingdom, or risk the loss of them both forever.
Based on new scholarship, this tale of bravery and conflicted love brings a lost queen back to life - rescuing her from obscurity, and reaffirming her place at the center of one of the most enduring legends of all time.

1703. The wild east coast of Scotland. Returning to her home town of Pittenweem, fishwife and widow Sorcha McIntyre knows she faces both censure and mistrust. After all, this is a country where myth and legend are woven into the fabric of the everyday, a time when those who defy custom like Sorcha are called to account.

So, when a young local falls victim to witchcraft, the Reverend Cowper and the townsfolk know who to blame.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"[Narrator Toni] Frutin creates an atmosphere of tension as the proponents of the new Christian God seek the demise of the Old Way and the Druids (the Wisdom Keepers). She sets a strong, steady pace that make the hours fly by." (AudioFile)

Honouring of the forgotten WISDOM OF ancient women
As a non academic historian I am and always have been drawn to the mystical stories & lore of the ancient Celts ...thus when I stumbled across This novel I was intrigued (honestly most had to start with the notion of pendragon n such ). The book took me sometime BE4 I became truly enchanted with it. As albeit the narrator was spellbinding it was the voice and shriek of young Laugoryth that often put me off. Seemed these chapters somewhat droned on but I am thkful I was patient because it did NOT disappoint. I especially enjoyed the authors footnote at the end and eagerly await beginning the next BK in series. stick with it. Understanding that the first few chapters set the BK story for the mystical ancient history I truly believe is real. Coming as a pagan who practices deep the ancient ways and honouring the turning of the wheel and all ancient sabbaths it too broke my heart how the power hungry MEN of Christianity beat the religion down the throats of ALL not allowing the balance of one to choose in whom they honour. Not much has changed ...that said there is a definite resurgence of the honouring of the old ways and if books such as these open the door and curiosity of the reader who is tingled by such then that is magick in the works ....words have power !!! Great work great read !

Magical
This has been, by far, one of my favourite audiobooks I have ever listened to and The Lost Queen is now one of my favourite books.
To any who enjoy a bit of history, a bit of magic, myth, legend, strong women, binding family ties, fantastic writing, and excellent narration I cannot recommend this enough.

Next we need a TV series!
This historical fiction novel is beautifully written. Keeping the reader on their toes with twists and turns and so much emotion! I found myself more excited to drive to work everyday so that I could keep up with Languoreth’s life. Definitely recommend!

Truly captivating.
I loved this book. As an aspiring author of historical fiction myself, I have a tremendous amount of respect for the research that went into this tale. but as a reader of the genre i was swept away by the language, Signe Pike's finely honed art of crafting wonderful characters and the magic of a time we can only imagine because so much if it is lost to memory now. The reader's skill at voices both male and female, her accent and wonderfully influxuating voice pulled me right into the century and Langoreth's world. I cannot wait to start The Lost Kingdom.

Phenomenal Story!
This was such an enjoyable audio book. You invested so much in main character and it was so easy to imagine what they must have experienced felt. An excellent piece of historical fiction and just a great piece of fiction in general. The narrator is excellent too. Nothing kills an audio book for me faster than an awful narrator. Makes it impossible to get into the story. Strongly recommend this book!
