Book description
If you've ever wondered what would happen if a boy scout with commitment issues accidentally became a knight, then buckle up for The Letter for the King - a rollicking medieval misadventure that's less "Ye Olde Boredom" and more "Hold my lance, I've got a letter to deliver."
Our hero, Tiuri, is basically the teenager everyone wishes they could be: polite, brave, and just reckless enough to open the door to a mysterious stranger on the eve of his knighting ceremony. Big mistake. Huge. Said stranger hands him a letter, vanishes into the night, and suddenly Tiuri's gone from future knight to fugitive, racing through enchanted forests, dodging murderous horsemen, and trying to save two kingdoms-all before breakfast.
Tonke Dragt whips up a fantasy world so vivid you'll start looking for secret passages in your own wardrobe. It's Lord of the Rings with fewer existential crises and more near-death experiences involving pigs. And while Tiuri might be underage, his determination is very much adult-level ridiculous. He's pursued by the Red Riders-basically the biker gang of medieval fantasy-who are about as friendly as a tax audit and twice as deadly.
Narrated with the kind of dramatic flair that makes you forget you're sitting still, this audiobook gallops along at a pace that'll leave you breathless and questioning your own life choices. It's the sort of story that makes you want to grab a sword, write a strongly worded letter to destiny, and maybe take up pig-herding as a side hustle.
In short: if you like your heroes young, your villains villainous, and your fantasy free of unnecessary romance, The Letter for the King is the audiobook equivalent of a perfectly timed joust. Just don't blame us when you find yourself quoting Tiuri in traffic.
