Arrows and Gems

The Roumaterra Chronicles, Book 4

De: Erin Halbmaier

Narrado por: Elaine K. Schultz

A runaway princess. An honorable outlaw. A crime that hasn’t been paid.

Princess Helena has always struggled to belong. When she wakes from her twelve-year enchanted sleep, she tries to adjust to the changes in her life. But her childhood sweetheart’s marriage and the council’s plan to choose her husband push her too far.

Cap just wants to protect his friends and return the throne to the missing crown prince. But the unlawful regent has accused the crown prince of murdering the king, and Cap’s status as an outlaw makes it hard to investigate.

He’s wary of the woman he believes has been sent to trap him, but she has a way of slipping past his defenses. And he’s afraid she might be another sign that he shouldn’t trust his own judgment.

Can Helena and Cap work together to reveal the true murderer? Or will their insecurities and secrets destroy everything they care about?

Arrows and Gems is a clean, no-spice retelling of Robin Hood and Snow White and Rose Red. It is book four in The Roumaterra Chronicles, a series of interconnected, standalone fairy tale retellings perfect for listeners of Brittany Fichter, Celeste Baxendell, and Annette K. Larsen.

Joy to listen

This clean fairytale of Robin Hood with a hint of Princess Bride was a joy to listen to. I loved the way the characters grew as the story progressed, and the tension that built to a swashbuckling finish! The way the Prince was always true to his love was so sweet, and the happy ending with the extra glimpses at the end of things to come made me excited for more from this wonderful author! I really enjoyed the narrator! She did an amazing job with all of the voices, accents, and moods!
