from The Book Reader · host Classic Audiobook Collection LLC

Cymbeline by William Shakespeare audiobook. Genre: drama In ancient Britain and imperial Rome, a royal household becomes a tinderbox of jealousy, ambition, and divided loyalties. Cymbeline, King of Britain, has remarried, and his new Queen is determined to secure power for her own son, Cloten. Standing in her way is Cymbeline's daughter, Imogen, who has secretly married the honorable but low-born Posthumus Leonatus and is swiftly separated from him by the court's intrigues. Exiled and vulnerable, Posthumus is drawn into a dangerous wager that puts Imogen's faithfulness on trial, while Imogen faces escalating pressure, deceit, and threats within the palace. Beyond Britain, Rome demands tribute, testing the kingdom's pride and stirring the possibility of war. Disguises, lost identities, and shifting alliances carry the story from candlelit chambers to wild landscapes, where questions of honor, love, and forgiveness collide with the brutal realities of politics. As accusations harden into betrayal and the stakes rise from private heartbreak to national conflict, Imogen must navigate a world determined to rewrite her future and uncover what is true before everything she values is destroyed.
