Publisher's Summary:
In medieval England, duty is everything, personal honor is more valued than life itself, and homosexuality is not tolerated by the church or society.
Sir Christian Brandon was raised in a household where he was hated for his unusual beauty and for his parentage. Being smaller than his six brutish half-brothers, he learned to survive by using his wits and his gift for strategy, earning him the nickname the Crow.
Sir William Corbett, a large and fierce warrior known as the Lion, has pushed his unnatural desires down all his life. He's determined to live up to his own ideal of a gallant knight. When he takes up a quest to rescue his sister from her abusive lord of a husband, he's forced to enlist the help of Sir Christian. It's a partnership that will test every strand of his moral fiber, and, eventually, his understanding of the meaning of duty, honor, and love.

Scott Richard Ehredt is PERFECT
Any additional comments?
I will admit I was hesitant for this audio book - not only because it's a historical romance, which can be an iffy thing when dealing with M/M unless it's AU, but because when I listened to the sample the narrator, Scott Richard Ehredt, sounded like a stuffy old British guy who would bore me to death. God, was I wrong!
Scott Richard Ehredt is PERFECT. He blew me away. Seriously...Blew. Me. Away.
The characters and time (late 1200's to early 1300's) are beautifully, and even lovingly, portrayed. The only thing I didn't love about this was the ending (even though it totally fits). The ending killed me. I hated the ending. I wish someone had warned me.
RECOMMENDED!
Intense, exceptional story
Would you listen to The Lion and the Crow again? Why?
Yes. I enjoyed the character developement, the overall story and the subjectm matter.
What does Scott Richard Ehredt bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
As with his other works, he brought the story alive. I enjoy the various voices and differences he brings. He has passion in his words and the story flows.

The author in my opinion made a fabulous story out of historic events and fictional ones. I loved it.
Excellent book and audio!!
Excellent book and audio! What an excellent narrator. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Books by this author are some of my favorites.
Rungs above on the ladder of homo-narratives
So well written!
Situated in time and space, rich with historical imagery, and not lacking in steam.
Far from shallow 'boy meets boy' contemporary ear fills: this narrative was cleverly written and performed with excellence.
The hopeless romantic and history nerd in me dreaded hearing "we hope you have enjoyed this audible...."
Unexpected.
Who was your favorite character and why?
It would have to be Christian The Crow...so witty.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, the ending was a shock. It brought to light the feeling of true love and finding your soul mate; that life is not worth living without ones better half.

I've read this book at least 4 times since I've purchased it (Sept 2015) ...and every single time I cry.
