Duel of Beasts is the latest novel from best-selling author Boyd Morrison and senior curator Beth Morrison.
Málaga, Spain, 1352. Knight-errant Gerard Fox and his daring wife Willa seek young noblewoman Madelena to deliver news of her brother’s death: an innocuous mission, yet one that plunges the couple into a fight for their lives against their most dangerous adversaries yet.
Madelena’s sister-in-law Helvira desires two things that Madalena now possesses: a considerable inheritance, and a letter that provides grounds for Helvira’s execution in both the Christian and Muslim worlds. With everything at stake, Helvira will stop at nothing to seize both.
Fox and Willa soon find themselves in a desperate battle to survive on a journey that will take them from the royal court at Seville to the mighty complex of the Alhambra Palace. To save Madelena and reveal the truth, the duo must outwit Helvira and her allies at every turn – and escape the ferocious creatures of Helvira’s deadly menagerie.
Duel of Beasts is an intriguing and fascinating read. The world-building is fantastic, and it really immerses the reader in the world. The mystery at the centre of the plot keeps you guessing and unfolds at a nice pace. I also really enjoyed how they mixed in court politics.
Overall, it’s an enjoyable read and one that, if you love mysteries, court politics, and intrigue, will tick all the boxes for a great read.
