Series: Wakefield Dynasty | Publication Date: October 1, 1997

Two families--the Wakefields of nobility and the lower-class Morgans--are the focus of this sweeping generational saga, joined by intriguing personalities such as Elizabeth I, William Tyndale, and John Bunyan. Linking the people and events through the ages is the struggle of men and women who sought God as the answer to their difficulties.

#6: Song of Princes

Twin brothers Paul and David Wakefield are born rivals and opposites in many things, yet only one can be master of Wakefield. Set in England during the reigns of George II and George III, The Song of Princes spans English history from the Methodist movement to the initial rumblings of the American Revolution. Fans of historical fiction and those already swept away by the series will find the pages turning themselves.

This book was a huge improvement on The Ramparts of Heaven, its predecessor. Paul and Miriam's relationship was very sweet, and their tragic parting was heartbreaking. The twists and turns of the plot keep you on the edge of you seat. A great book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Author should have read his other book first before writing, September 21, 2004

If Gilbert Morris really wrote this book, he should have read the book before this one, "The Ramparts of Heaven" first. The continuity in this book is horrendous.
The biggest one to me was when Sir George Wakefield lets Gareth Morgan into his home and thinks about how Gareth and his wife Caroline were once lovers. In the 5th book, the two hadn't ever met! Caroline was in love with George's brother Andrew and that relationship is never even mentioned!
Another one is how Andrew and his wife Dorcas look back on their relationship and state how they had loved each other since the first day they got married. In the 5th book, the whole 2nd part of the book is Andrew's reluctancy to give into loving his wife b/c of his relationship with God!
Another thing I wonder is how that like of Wakefields got to be lord of the manor seeing as how Christopher Wakefield had 2 sons and Amos was the younger one, Gavin was the older and already had 1 son yet that is never brought up at all.
And why do they keep intermarrying into the family? David and Bethany are FIRST cousins. Isn't this supposed to be a Christian novel?
