Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Dark Age, written by James Wilde, read by David Shaw Parker.

Bridging the gap between 'Game of Thrones' and Bernard Cornwell comes the second chapter in James Wilde's epic adventure of betrayal, battle and bloodshed . . .

It is AD 367, and Roman Britain has fallen to the vast barbarian horde which has invaded from the north. Towns burn, the land is ravaged and the few survivors flee. The army of Rome - once the most effective fighting force in the world - has been broken, its spirit lost and its remaining troops shattered.

Yet for all the darkness, there is hope. And it rests with one man. His name is Lucanus who they call the Wolf. He is a warrior, and he wears the ancient crown of the great war leader, Pendragon, and he wields a sword bestowed upon him by the druids. With a small band of trusted followers, Lucanus ventures south to Londinium where he hopes to bring together an army and make a defiant stand against the invader.

But within the walls of that great city there are others waiting on his arrival - hidden enemies who want more than anything to possess the great secret that has been entrusted to his care. To seize it would give them power beyond imagining. To protect it will require bravery and sacrifice beyond measure. And to lose it would mean the end of everything worth fighting for.

Before Camelot. Before Excalibur. Before all you know of King Arthur. Here is the beginning of that legend . . .

Already love it

due to listening to pendragon read by James
also, I pre ordered this one already knowing that as someone who loves historical fiction/ historical fantasy AND the incredible read from Mr Wilde, that I'd love it.

so far, I'm not even 10 minutes in and I'm hooked by the narration and descriptive prowess by David. I'm already wanting a third book. 😂

AMAZING simply amazing, if Amazon ever makes this a series, I'm green eyed and red headed; I suit aramina's description so drop me a message! I'd love to one day perform in an adapted version,absolutely love the story and the writing is creative,expressive and imagnitive.
I ALREADY WANT THE THIRD BOOK! 🖤 If I could I'd gush about this book for days, definitely a pre-emptive Bernard Cornwell.

Reluctance

Having struggled through the first book I've been reluctant to start the second. There are too many far more readable books in this genre to waste time on this.
