Publisher's Summary
Contains some scenes of violence that younger listeners may find upsetting. Recommended for listeners aged 16+
This Original multicast drama piece blends history with fiction to tell the story of Jonah and his rise to fame through war, disease, ruin and riches.
London, 1337. England is at war, and the King is in financial straits, meaning that Jonah's hard-earned business and fortune hang in the balance. A far cry from his humble beginnings as a draper's apprentice, Jonah is now one of the influential merchants in England, and he manages to secure the hand of the daughter of one of the most powerful and dangerous nobles in the country.
As Jonah's wealth and prominence grow, so do his enemies and the threats they bring - and even Jonah's close relationship with the King doesn't guarantee security. The King is at war, and he wants Jonah there beside him.
Told in three parts, hear Medieval London come to life in this historical epic, Audible Original's most ambitious production to date. Narrated by Miriam Margolyes, OBE (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Romeo + Juliet, Mulan) and starring Douglas Booth (Riot Club, Loving Vincent, Shelley) as Jonah and Samuel West (BAFTA nominated; Mr Selfridge, Howards End) as Willcox.
Also featuring: Josephine Arden, Timothy Bentinck, John Banks, Clare Buckfield, Elliot Chapman, Oliver Coopersmith, Raymond Coulthard, Gareth David-Lloyd, Raj Ghatak, Joe Jameson, James Joyce, Barry McCarthy, Olly McCauley, Tony Millan, George Naylor, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Steven Pacey, Nicholas Pegg, David Schofield, Jane Slavin, Dan Starkey, Jonty Stephens, Julie Teal, Alexander Vlahos, Niky Wardley, Lizzie Waterworth-Santo, Samuel West, Finty Williams.

Submersive and enthralling read. Highly recon
Every character well developed with inspiring story lines. This is certainly a hard book to put down and to have finished. Waiting for the final installment with great anticipation.

Great story ruined by some weird values
A beautiful story, beautifully told, but ruined for me because I could not get on board with how much characters care about patently stupid and ill-informed opinions of acquaintances.
If a cousin beats bloody repeatedly, rapes your 14yo crush, then sends her off into prostitution, tries to have you killed, beats you again, robs you, slanders you and then you return home to see him striking your pregnant wife what do you do? If you're the MC you let him continue to stay in your home uninvited because the priest said so.
I cannot continue with this series.
