Captive Kingdom

Ascendance, Book 4

De: Jennifer A. Nielsen

Narrado por: Charlie McWade

In a peaceful Carthya, Jaron leads as the Ascendant King with Imogen beside him - but the peace he fought so long for is not destined to last.

On a routine sea voyage, Jaron's ship is brutally attacked, and he is taken hostage. The mysterious captors and their leader, Jane Strick, accuse Jaron of unthinkable acts. They are also in possession of some shocking items - including the crown and sword that belonged to Jaron's older brother, Darius. The items unearth a past Jaron thought he had put behind him.

Though it seems impossible, Jaron must consider: Could Darius be alive? And what does Strick want from Jaron? Against his will, Jaron will be pulled back into a fight for the throne - and a battle to save his kingdom.

Return to Carthya to uncover new secrets, high-stakes action, and Jennifer A. Nielsen's signature breathtaking twists.

My kids love them

cute stories, my girls love them! It is always weird hearing the story from Jaron's point of view but never actually getting all of his plans until they happen.

Soooo Amazing!! Can’t believe I finish it 😭

This was an amazing continuation to the series! This is a must to read and you will find yourself again immersed into Nielsen’s plot twists, unexpected revelations, and captivating characters. The narration was amazing but I’m kinda sad that Roden’s voice sounds different. Besides all that, this was a great listen and everyone should hear this! Just a fyi, be emotionally prepared for this book ;)

Great Plot and Amazing Narrator

Characters were well-rounded, plot was well developed and nicely laid out. Overall a good read,10/10 would recommend

I love the story

I think that this series is really good I love it. There is lots of surprises and plot twists. I have enjoyed this series so far.

Fantastic Read.

I loved this story. Found myself laughing outloud often. The humor is amazing and I loved the way the narrator brought Sages sarcasm and quick wit to life. so well done for both author and narrator.

Loved it

Jennifer A. Neilson has done it again. Adventure draws you in. Great narrative. Great for kids 4th grade and up.

My favorite series!

I love this series! So many twists and turns that keep me engaged and wanting more. My 5th grader read, The False Prince, and couldn’t stop talking about it. I decided to read it myself. I quickly surpassed her and have finished all four books now.

The reader of this series, Charley Mcwade (Spelling??) does a fabulous job! He has different voices for each character and nails each one! I now want to listen to other books he had read.

I hope the Author keeps these stories coming!
