House of Beating Wings

The Kingdom of Crows, Book 1

By: Olivia Wildenstein

Narrated by: Olivia King

Free the crows, Fallon, and they will make you queen.

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well...by all but one.

Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I'd go.

If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.

And that I'd become this demon's obsession.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Mary E. Pearson will devour this epic fantasy romance full of deceit, betrayal, and false loves that could swallow a person whole.

Critic reviews

"A fantastical delight of a book, rich with its imagination and lush with its storytelling." (RUNYX, author of Gothikana)

Took a chance, and so glad I did!!

Book recommendation off of TikTok, fantastic, read! I have been in a reading slump for sometime and this, for some reason just hit all my buttons and just the right way.
Some of it was predictable admittedly but overall the hero was dark and yummy, and the heroine grows into her self, and is very sassy ! On to the next one.

Enjoyed

My personal opinion could be different than yours. I will say I liked it, would listen again and look forward to the next book.

Absolutely loved

This got me out of my romance fantasy reading slump. Fallon I absolutely loved. An animal lover who follows her heart and fights for what is right above all. Perfect

Love it!

This book was amazing, but why can’t I find book 2 on audible? You can find it on hardcover and Kindle.

Cool plot, I wish there was more character development.

The main character can be hard to get past. She is argumentative for the sake of being argumentative, and her inner dialogue can get redundant, and boring. She is some what of a silly girl in the book. That being said.

The work was interesting, and I see a lot of potential in this story. The narration was awesome, and the side characters are interesting.

I hope the next book goes into more relational character development. And gives clearer descriptions of Fallon and the world.
