About this audiobook

Immerse yourself in a reimagined medieval romance that transforms the tale of Havelok the Dane into a lush fantasy of lost royalty and forest exile. Written in a deliberately archaic style, the story follows a dispossessed prince and a captive princess as they navigate a world of wood-woses and ancient laws to claim their birthright. The prose evokes the rhythm and color of an illuminated manuscript, creating a dreamlike atmosphere of chivalry and innocence. It is a shining example of the late Victorian revival of the saga form.
