Book description
Finn Longman's "The Wolf and His King" transforms Marie de France's medieval werewolf tale into something remarkably fresh. This audiobook succeeds brilliantly at what Longman does best: taking ancient stories and making them feel urgently contemporary without losing their historical soul.
The narrative follows Bisclavret, a knight struggling with his lycanthropy while trying to maintain his place in a rigid feudal society. What makes this retelling exceptional is how it handles the relationship between Bisclavret and the young king. Longman crafts their connection with careful attention to both characters' isolation-the king lonely on his throne, Bisclavret isolated by his condition. Their growing bond feels earned rather than rushed, developing naturally through shared moments of vulnerability and duty.
The author's background in medieval literature shows in the authentic period details, but never overwhelms the story. Instead, Longman uses historical elements to enhance emotional truths about identity, loyalty, and acceptance. The audiobook format works particularly well here, allowing listeners to experience the internal struggles of both characters through nuanced vocal performances that capture the tension between public duty and private desire.
What sets this apart from other fantasy retellings is its refusal to shy away from the political implications of Bisclavret's situation. His position as both knight and monster creates genuine conflict with the kingdom's power structures, making his relationship with the king feel both romantic and dangerous. The supernatural elements serve the story rather than overshadowing it, creating stakes that matter for both personal and political reasons.
Longman's academic expertise in friendship and affection from medieval literature translates beautifully into Bisclavret and the king's relationship. Their connection builds slowly, grounded in mutual respect and growing understanding rather than instant attraction. This approach makes their eventual intimacy more satisfying and their separation more heartbreaking.
The audiobook excels at maintaining tension between the personal and political narratives. While Bisclavret deals with his transformation and the king navigates court politics, external threats to the kingdom create additional pressure. The pacing keeps multiple storylines moving forward without sacrificing character development or emotional depth.
Listeners familiar with medieval literature will appreciate the respectful treatment of the source material, while those new to the genre will find this an excellent entry point. Longman manages to be both scholarly and accessible, creating something that works as entertainment while maintaining literary merit. The result is a queer retelling that feels both historically grounded and thoroughly modern, proving that old stories can still surprise us when told by the right voice.
