Publisher's summary

A lost princess....

Tessana Allisand had a family once. A home. A title. A future. Until one night when everything she loved was taken from her. Secreted away to an isolated monastery in the farthest region of the realm, Tess was raised in the silence of monks and the loneliness of tragedy. And there she would have stayed if the dark magic that killed her family hadn't finally found her.

An impossible quest....

With her identity discovered, Tessana must face the home she fled all those years ago. The Crown of Nine must return to its rightful place and Tess must be the one to carry it across the nine kingdoms. And when she arrives? She'll need to convince a dying kingdom that the crown that has belonged to one hundred kings should be given to a queen.

A rebellious prince....

Taelon Treskinat was in love once. With a princess. The daughter of a slaughtered king. He risked everything to save her, to make sure she survived. When that same princess tumbles back into his life no longer the scared little girl he remembers from childhood, he must decide where his duty lies. With the girl that will threaten everything he knows and loves. Or the kingdom he will do anything to protect.

Magic and Kindoms

I like the progression of the story. It builds up to each new revelation, then hits you with something unsuspected. The way magic is woven through the story, sometimes just beneath the surface so you're not sure if it's there or not. It has magic, war, deceit, and some romance.

Great story rough performance

This is a great story. But it took a while to get past the narration. It was either monotone or the emphasis felt wrong. Not a great listen

Great Fantasy

I enjoyed this book very much. Everything an easy-read, enjoyable, romantic, interesting Fantasy should be. Magical lands, a long forgotten Princess, a Handsome, but Rogueish Prince, lot's of deception, lies and intrigue and as always, the quest with and end goal with peace for a Kingdom at war.

Only one narrator. The storyline was very simplistic. Not what I was expecting. And not in a good way .

I don’t recommend this to anyone. The fact that one person narrates it is horrible . The plot is lacking . Maybe if the narrator wasn’t so bad the book would be better . I don’t know .

Worst narrator ever

Loved the story! Rachel Higginson is one of my favorite authors but damn I could hardly stay tuned in because the narrator was just horrible! It was so distracting! Please pick another career lady!

terrible narration

the story was okay, not as good as some of her other books. the narration did not help. this is the first book I've listened to where the narrator could barely make any difference between the characters voices which made it difficult to follow the dialogue. In addition I was surprised the choice of narrator because quite a few of the words that the author uses are British vernacular rather than American, such as fortnite, and I would have therefore expected a narrator with a British accent.

Unrealized potential

I really wanted to like this but I’m not sure if it was that the story was too simplistic, characters were one dimensional or the narrator was just reading with the same intonation and not pausing for punctuations… I eventually gave up listening

YA?

At first I thought, "Maybe it's just the bad narrator and the story is actually good." With that in mind, I sped up the tempo. It didn't, but struggled on. An idea that didn't blossom, only decayed further. Was this supposed to be YA? If so, must be pre-teen YA, if that's even a thing. FMC & sidekick are idiots. Dialog is weak, immature, and annoying.
I love myself too much to force this down my ears any longer. DNF at ch 5.
