The Queen's Gift

A Stone Bearers Novel, Book 2

De: Jacque Stevens

Narrado por: John Pirhalla

What will he have to become to survive?

It seemed like a simple plan. After leaving his home in the elven forest, Drynn was called as a magical avatar - a bearer. He now wants to learn all about magic and so does his new human friend. Drynn also wants to discover the remaining mysteries behind his mother's curse and so does his elder brother. The human wizards seem ready to help them. Going with them to the Wizard Tower seems the obvious solution.

But even Drynn's most trusted human friend is keeping secrets enough to make the Tower a waiting death trap. If the elves are to survive in the human world, Drynn might have to embrace a darker part of himself - something that could destroy everything he hoped to gain.

The second installment of a coming-of-age fantasy series, perfect for teen and young adult fans of Terry Brooks (Shannara), Cinda Willams Chima (The Demon King), Christopher Paolini (Eragon), and other works of epic sword and sorcery.

The Queen's Gift is the direct sequel of The Queen's Opal (2017) in a new high fantasy adventure series set in the same magical and exotic world as The Stone Bearers (2016).

Clean listen. Fantasy violence and a few darker themes. Recommended for young adults and teens 12 and up.

Exciting Series!

I really enjoyed this book! I am really enjoying this series! I am patiently waiting on book 3! This is edge of the seat listening, the elves are so different than most. Humans, well they are like regular humans, superstitious fears, self supposing, greedy and all. Jacque Stevens does a fantastic job bringing life to each character in the story which is a desirable trait in any good bard. I was gifted this book and am honored and thrilled to have had the opportunity to rave about it in my own way. I hope others who read this series enjoy it as much as I do.

Incredible New Fantasy Series

This book picks up where book one left off and was such a fun listen! The Stone Bearer's series is just my newest favorite fantasy series, it is definitely one I will listen to again. It has elements of some of my favorite fantasies like the magic from FableHaven and Harry Potter and the quests from the Lord of the Rings. The author has done a wonderful job of bringing her story to life with entertaining characters that you connect with and become invested in the story. I absolutely love the narration by John Pirhalla, he does a fantastic job with the voices/acting and really made it a great listening experience. I can't wait for book three. For the parents out there checking reviews, this has been a pretty clean series thus far - I'd say 4th grade and up and movie rating PG-PG13 due to some violence and minor language.

I am still beyond impressed with Jacque Stevens' novels as I continue to listen to them. The world-building and character development are phenomenal! If you liked the Queen's Opal, you will not be disappointed with this one.

Pirhalla, again, was excellent. His accents and dictation are spot-on, and his pacing and tone keep the story moving along.

book 2

a continuation from book one which does pick up where book one left off; and a must read and/or listen to.

GIFT OF THE QUEEN
