A Court of Crows

Talons and Tethers, Book 1

De: Eliza Eveland

Narrado por: Ruthie Bowles

A young queen in peril.

A city under siege.

An elven mercenary with a dark desire.

Nineteen-year-old Eris Telari was never supposed to rule Brucia. She’s always been more interested in swordplay than courtly intrigue. After her brother’s assassination, however, Eris has no choice but to take up the crown and defend her city against an invasion led by an undefeated elven warlord. With Brucia’s forces decimated, and a siege looming, Eris needs help. Who better to repel the elven invaders than a band of elven mercenaries? Their leader, Ruith, is as charming as he is deadly, and used to getting what he wants. Six thousand swords strong, his Crows have a reputation for winning against impossible odds. He won’t take a fight he can’t win, and now he has his sights set on Eris….

Is it her kingdom he wants? Or her?

With assassins and traitors still lurking around every corner, and an army nearly twenty thousand strong at her gates, Eris cannot afford to turn away the Crows’ assistance. Even with their help, the battle for Brucia will be hard-won. And the most dangerous threat may already be inside her walls and vying for a place at her side….

A Court of Crows is the first book in the gripping Talons and Tethers saga, a new adult fantasy romance series. Expect courtly intrigue, assassination plots, plenty of heart-pounding action sequences, and strong heroines who do their own rescuing.

This series contains four separate slow-burn romances that unfold over several books. Ruith and his Crow commanders have varying and diverse tastes when it comes to romance, but all of them enjoy plenty of spice, so grab your copy and prepare to meet your next book boyfriend(s)!

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Loved this book! There’s magic, there’s intrigue, there’s romance - and a bit of smut 😉 I look forward to diving headfirst into the next one - I already bought the hard copy so I don’t have to wait!

I can't wait for the next one!

I loved the story, the characters, everything. I love how everyone has agency, no fainting damsels here, but it's not at the expense of emotion or vulnerability. Ruthie Bowles does a fantastic job bringing this diverse cast to life, and I got chilld more than once.

possibly my favorite new book

Possible my new favorite book, can't wait for the next book.. Love the Narrator.. she brought the book to life

Well defined high-fantasy world including LGBTQ+

An amazing high fantasy story that is well defined and full of intrigue written by Eliza Eveland. The story focuses on the fate of one city and its Queen under the siege of Elven invaders. A large cast of characters that all have a well developed story. Including some LGBTQ+ characters.
Narrator Ruthie Bowles does a fantastic job bringing the story to life, and defining the characters.

My favorite characters were Cat an elven mage and Isaac a Queen's knight who came from an order that polices magic. Looking forward to next book!

For the Queen!

I absolutely adore this audiobook! Ruthie's voice is so clear and she's manages to capture each character so perfectly. Her voice, her interpretation and the character's personality she's able to convey through her voice only add to this story. After about 1/4 of the book I was able to distinguish the different characters just by their voice alone.

I am sure that I would have enjoyed this book as a normal read, but Ruthie's narrating made the entire reading experience so much more magical!

The story was fantastic.

I love this narrator and this story fits perfect with her voice. Can’t wait to hear more.

I loved this book! please release the others!

it's my second time going through the book and honestly the story is great the voice acting is great the only downside is that only book one is on audio! I can't even find the other books! give use more!!
