About this listen
“No disguise could cloak her beauty and therein was unspeakable danger.”
Princess Vivien's idyllic life is shattered when Saxons invade her sire’s kingdom. So long had the Selgovaeans enjoyed peace they are ill prepared and are quickly conquered by the barbarians, her father slain. Alone, Vivien is forced to flee to the hidden sanctuary of The Mountain. Her journey is extremely perilous as the Saxons search out every road and trail, seeking to capture the princess and obtain a vital secret that she possesses. To evade her enemies, she must rely on wit, cunning, and the help of the enigmatic sage, the Immortal Hawk.
Destined for a purpose far greater than she can imagine, Vivien is empowered to establish a realm of unearthly majesty, where warriors are secretly trained as skilled and chivalrous knights. The sage, known by his foes as the Magician, foretells of the rise of young Arthur, a resistance fighter who will raise an army of knights, defeat the invaders, and be crowned High King of Britannia. Yet these prophecies are dependent on Vivien, her men-of-war, the secret she guards with her life, and above all else, the inspiration of her love.
The Princess of Selgovae and the High King is a thrilling tale of adventure, magic, romance, and destiny, set against the backdrop of ancient Britain. Fans of epic fantasy and historical fiction will be swept away by this tale of a young princess who risks everything to save her kingdom and fulfill her destiny.

History, Magic and Mystery ...
I have heard about the book from Instagram and was curious to know more. The action is set in the late 5th early 6th centuries, the legendary times of King Arthur, although it is not a historical chronicle but rather an adventure.
The protagonist of the story is a fragile, amazingly beautiful, and at the same time firm and intent princess who is involved in dramatic, romantic, and magical events. As the story unfolds, the princess gets in the middle of legendary events and fights against Saxon invaders.
My actual insight into the book has started with listening to the audible version narrated by Michael Troughton. He manages to give a listener a deep feeling of the epoch. His voice is expressive and pitched-perfect.
The book is beautifully written. Its plot is engaging and rich with unexpected twists. If you like being mesmerized and enchanted by the events of the past if the delicate mixture of history and mystic appeals to you this book seems the right choice.
