About the Audiobook
In The Wolfe of Badenoch, Alexander Stuart — an illegitimate and ambitious son — claws his way to power in medieval Scotland. When a mysterious stranger offers to restore his lost influence, Alexander recounts a life shaped by rebellion, political manoeuvring, and brutal retaliation.
From his imprisonment for defying his royal uncle to aiding his father’s claim to the throne, Alexander earns command of the North and gains wealth, status, and a mistress, Mary. Yet his hunger for power drives him to marry the Countess of Ross — only to find himself undermined by her schemes and a bishop’s political machinations.
In a relentless quest to reclaim his dominance, Alexander unleashes mercenaries to raze the bishop’s lands. As his story unfolds with the stranger, more of Alexander’s ruthless nature comes to light, painting a vivid portrait of ambition in a treacherous era.
A darkly compelling drama about legacy, betrayal, and the high cost of power.
