Doctor Who: Royal Blood
ByPublisher Description
An original adventure tying in to the ninth season of Doctor Who, the spectacular hit series from BBC Television, featuring the new 12th Doctor as played by Peter Capaldi.
“The Grail is a story, a myth! It didn’t exist on your world! It can’t exist here!”
The city-state of Varuz is failing. Duke Aurelian is the last of his line, his capital is crumbling, and the armies of his enemy, Duke Conrad, are poised beyond the mountains to invade. Aurelian is preparing to gamble everything on one last battle. So when a holy man, the Doctor, comes to Varuz from beyond the mountains, Aurelian asks for his blessing in the war.
But all is not what it seems in Varuz. The city-guard have lasers for swords, and the halls are lit by electric candlelight. Aurelian’s beloved wife, Guena, and his most trusted knight, Bernhardt, seem to be plotting to overthrow their Duke, and Clara finds herself drawn into their intrigue...
Will the Doctor stop Aurelian from going to war? Will Clara’s involvement in the plot against the Duke be discovered? Why is Conrad’s ambassador so nervous? And who are the ancient and weary knights who arrive in Varuz claiming to be on a quest for the Holy Grail…?

“2.5/5 rounded up to 3. I much preferred Ruby Red.
I thought this was another fun adventure with Fifteen and Ruby and I’m glad we are getting more stories because we really didn’t get enough of them in the show. Love having more stories to have for Fifteen when he got little on screen.
Bonnie Langford was great with the audio narration. Not a massive fan of audiobooks but she made it enjoyable(plus I get these for free with audiobook form) so it was good hearing her, makes it feel more in universe with the show.”

“Initially starting this book in July, I was a lot more interested than the last Dr Who Novel. I lost touch with reading for a bit but it was so easy to pick this back up again. Do I think it is the best? No. But Una McCormack always creates a good story.”
