At the age of 30, Robin is an Earl at last - but not the Earl of Waringham, the ancestral title that he still hopes to win back one day from the evil Mortimer.
England has seen other changes too: Edward III is dead and his successor, the boy king Richard II, is at odds with his uncle, the Duke of Lancaster. The introduction of a hated new poll tax brings about one of the most dangerous episodes in English history and Robin finds himself embroiled in the Peasants' Revolt.
As the years pass, his old enemies continue to move against him and with the stability of England under increasing threat from an unpredictable and incompetent King, Robin finally joins forces with Lancaster and his son, Henry, in a revolution which aims to secure the nation's future. And as he finds himself helplessly in love with the wife of his oldest and most implacable enemy, the stage is set for Robin's final showdown with Mortimer.
In the third instalment of a six-part epic, Medieval Europe is brought to life in a multi-cast drama based on the novels by Rebecca Gable, author of the Scarlet City trilogy.

The Waringham Chronicles just get better and better. I can't wait for volume 4 to be released. I've lost count of the number of times I cried while listening to this. So many threads set in place in the other books come full circle in Revolutions. Things I've waited patiently for over more than 50 hours come into fusion. I enjoyed this so much I listened to it when I was at work as well because I wanted to find out what would happen next. This ticks all of the boxes for me; great cast, great plot and a great story. The Waringham Chronicles are among the best audible dramas I've listened to.
