Publisher's summary

For fans of Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series and Joelle Charbonneau’s Dividing Eden, Bridget E. Baker begins a saga of shocking truths, deadly intrigue, and sisterly betrayal among the descendants of Eve.

My mom should have killed me the day I was born.

Being a twin complicates the Evian line of succession, but Chancery Alamecha is fine letting Judica inherit the throne. After all, she’s the stronger sister - the merciless fighter, the ruthless politician, and the groomed heir.

But something unexpected happens when Chancery tries on her mother’s staridium ring, forcing her into a role that she never wanted: the prophesied queen who will prevent the destruction of Earth.

Now, I have to kill my sister.

Judica, enraged by this turn of events, vows to do anything to reclaim her rightful place as empress, including challenging Chancery to a battle to the death.

While Chancery is away training, she gets a taste of the human world, where she can do whatever she wants without genetic obligations. Now torn between a life she was born into and one that makes her happy, she must confront her treacherous sister or cause the end of the world.

Wow! What a great start

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. I couldn't put it down! I've followed this narrator through many books and she really brings this genre to life! Can't wait to follow the rest of this series. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Displaced

This YA story captured my interest from the very beginning. Chancery’s struggles and growth throughout the book kept me engaged. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Bridget E. Baker did a great job with this story. Having the youngest female be the heir apparent gave the story a different twist.

Jennifer Jill Anaya’s narration was very entertaining. Her narration fit very well with the ages and personalities of the characters.

Absolutely amazing

This entire dearies is amazing! I couldn’t stop listening. Loved the narration. The story line is amazing. It’s rare to find such captivating stories that are clean of language and such. I love the series so much that I bought the actual books as well.

Amazing series! Great Narrator!

I've read all the books in this series and they're amazing. I love audio books while I'm driving and this one definitely hit the mark. Even though I've already read thru book 5, it kept my attention and made the drive time pass quickly. I found myself staying in my car for a bit when I arrived at my destination just to hear a bit more. The narrator was perfect!

Amazing story!!

This is my first book by Bridget E. Baker, and loved it!!
The world she creates is amazing. I started listening to the audiobook and couldn't stop until the end!!
Already downloaded the next book of the series.

A very enjoyable fantasy

I loved this story and can’t wait to read the rest of the series. It is clean and sweet, while still dealing with fighting matches sometimes to the death. It is a bit of a romance but isn’t the primary focus of the book. And there is a bit of a decision the main character has to make regarding what kind of man she wants. She can’t have them both. Chancery is the main character with her sister Judica being a strong secondary character. The love interests are Noah who is a human and Edam. I like Noah but was strongly pulling for Edam who I think she will end up with in the end. But who knows. I liked that women are the rulers. I have read others were it is a Queendom vs a Kingdom. But I like how there is an underlying theme that in any type of civilization where inequality is present that those not usually praised matter and have value. In this book men are not the rulers and the sons of rulers are bought and sold. Yet, they have feelings too. Just as much as humans do even if they are not the genetic elect like the Evians are. There are times in this book when as a reader you really want to love a character or hate them. But the main character helps the reader see good even in the worst of characters.

Definitely recommend

Sooooo good! I could put it down. I can’t wait for the next one. The narrator did fantastic with each of the characters too.

Great fantasy series

I enjoyed this book and would really like for the author to record the rest of the series and release them so that I can get back to exploring this fun, entertaining world ! The narrator was really awesome so if you are interested in this story so far after reading the summary on Audible then go for it:)

Absolutely Amazing

This book is a fantastic start to the series! The characters feel very real and nuanced, the world is carefully thought out, and the plot makes sense given the characters and the world they live in. A very solid choice for lovers of YA fantasy!

Super race of Eve's direct descendents

This book is a very well written story about the demands of a young woman who has to learn the ways of her people and to lead them to peace and prosperity. She learns that she is the chosen heir and she isn't sure that she wants that. Familial infighting and many obstacles come her way.

Very well written story. Excellent audio book.
