About this listen

King James's banquet at Knockhall castle took place during a pivotal time in the history of Scotland and England. This novel, crafted in a modern and accessible tone, incorporates actual characters and true events of the day. It is a stand-alone novel in the Banquet series.

June 1589: Lord Sinclair, proud of his castle in Aberdeenshire, hosts the banquet to celebrate peace with England and the king's impending marriage. Celebrations have to be discreet, as the country is facing political and financial turmoil, but this won't be a quiet night's celebration for the king. It can't be, not for Lord Sinclair's sake.

The author balances documented historical records on the people and events of the day to ensure historical accuracy, blending it with a modern storytelling style that doesn't make you feel like you are reading Shakespeare. So step inside a world of kings, banquets, and extravagance. Imagine Netflix's The Crown, but set in the 16th century. Buy The King's Banquet today and leave knowing more about one of the most important kings and times in British history.

The narrator brings the story to life through multiple voices and a theatrical style. Interesting story too - learnt a lot about King James and the final section brings together fact vs fiction very well. Recommended.
