It falls to Farden – one of the Arka's most powerful yet troubled Written mages – to keep Emaneska from falling into chaos.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

The kingdom of Hálendi is in trouble. It's losing the war at its borders, and rumors of a new, deadlier threat on the horizon have surfaced. Princess Jennesara knows her skills on the battlefield would make her an asset and wants to help, but her father has other plans. As the second-born heir to the throne, Jenna lacks the firstborn's magical abilities, so the king promises her hand in marriage to the prince of neighboring Turia in exchange for resources Hálendi needs. Jenna must leave behind everything she has ever known if she is to give her people a chance at peace.

What would happen if an author went back to the darker themes of the original fairy tales for his plots, and then crossed the Disney princesses with Charlie's Angels? What's delivered is The Stepsister Scheme, a whole new take on what happened to Cinderella and her prince after the wedding. And with Jim C. Hines penning the tale, listeners can bet it won't be "and they lived happily ever after."

And it continues …
Diving right back in after finishing the first book in this series I continued to enjoy Galley’s take on the genre and world building.
As relationships are formed and strengthened (or weakened) I have enjoyed discovering more about the characters and the magic, the territories and the alliances that exist in Emaneska.
The narrator is fabulous!

Can't get past the narrator.
I want to like this series. I really started getting annoyed by the narrator's style near the end of the first book. I took a break and came back for the second book, but I just can't do it. His accent is fine and the accents he does for the characters are very good, but the non-conversation parts have an odd choice of inflection and word stress points that I can't not hear now.

Great narrator
Everyone has their favorite narrator, RC Bray, Jim Dale, Michael Kramer, Tim Gerard Reynolds, you get the idea. I've never listened to Steven Cree before but his work is excellent and, because of his accent, very unique. He's the only Scottish narrator I've heard of on Audible.
This is the second book in the series so don't start here. Get the first book, let your ears adjust to the accent, and enjoy.
