About this audiobook
Held as an honorable prisoner in the English court, King James I of Scotland must struggle with his identity as both a captive and a sovereign. His journey through the battlefields of France and the halls of power is a quest for the freedom to rule his own people and the wisdom to do it well. This poignant historical drama explores the tension between duty and desire, and the heavy price of a crown. It is a masterful portrait of a king who learned to lead while in chains.
