Under King Constantine

Under King Constantine by Katrina Trask sweeps listeners into the uneasy dawn after King Arthur’s fall, where chivalry, desire, and duty collide in a court struggling to hold the legacy of Camelot. Trask’s Arthurian historical fiction follows Sir Constantine—chosen king as Malory records—and a glittering cast of knights and ladies whose hearts and loyalties are tested amid hunts, tournaments, and palace intrigue. Through lyrical, Victorian prose, the novel explores themes of love, honor, and the fading medieval world. Central is the mercurial Gwendolaine, whose beauty and unpredictable spirit unsettle marriages and provoke noble quests; alongside Sir Sanpeur, Sir Torm, and others, she animates tales of passion, rivalry, and moral choice without losing the story’s poetic, pastoral atmosphere. Trask draws on the legendary past to illuminate very human emotions, balancing romantic adventure with reflective passages on power and legacy. Ideal for listeners who love Arthurian legend, historical romance, and evocative, character-driven storytelling, this audiobook is a rewarding listen for fans of medieval tales and Victorian reimaginings—perfect for anyone who enjoys richly descriptive narration and the romance of a bygone age.
