Gripping and action-packed, Crowns is perfect for fans of thick plots with aching romance. This is a compelling first volume to a deliciously twisting trilogy that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

The Return of a Lost Heir …
The kingdom of Mercia has been at war with the Shadow King and his dark army for ten years. To escape the seer’s vision of her capture, Mercia’s heir to the throne, Princess Norah Andell, is secreted away by her father to keep her safe. But when he dies in battle, so too dies the knowledge of where she’s hidden. She’s lost to the world—until three years later, when she’s found with no memory of who she is or the kingdom that now rests on her shoulders.

A Conflicted Duty …
Loyal and fearless commander of the Mercian army, Alexander Rhemus, has protected the realm against the threat of the Shadow King, awaiting Norah’s return. Not only does she hold the fate of the kingdom, but also his heart. However, when she’s found, he discovers she has no memory of him, or what was once between them. With war still looming, Norah is expected to wed and secure an alliance—one Mercia desperately needs to stand against the Shadow King. Now, with Mercia’s future at stake, Alexander finds himself torn between his duty and his heart.

A Twisted Fate …
Norah is thrust into a world she doesn’t know, in a role she’s unprepared for, to save a kingdom she doesn’t remember. Under the hardship of winter and a dark enemy against them, Mercia is on the verge of breaking. As things start to unravel, the Shadow King draws Norah down a path of twisted fate—and it could cost her everything.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The political intrigue of Outlander or Game of Thrones with the magic and thrills of A Court of Thorns and Roses." - US Review of Books

"An epic tale displaying the best kind of fantasy, one dense with mysticism, magic, epic battles and mythology." - BlueInk Review

Great character development and interesting!

Overall the story was very entertaining and I enjoyed the characters with a slow burn love! The narrators are great, but I’d really like it if the male characters would read through the story instead of each narrator attempting masculine and feminine voices. I hope to hear book 2!!

❤❤❤

if you are fans of Red Queen or ACOTR then you will love this story.
A princess that wakes with no memories is thrust into her duties after being found after 3 years gone. She journeys to find herself and who to trust and trying to do the right thing.

It ends on a cliffhanger and I cant wait till book 2 comes out!

Great Character Development

BEST ROMANTIC FANTASY I’ve read this year!!

This was such a surprise! So addicting! I cannot until book 2! I absolutely loved this audiobook!

Loved it!

Full of mystery, depth of characters, and amazing world building. Enjoyed it very much. Can’t wait for the sequel

So so sooooo good!!

Narrators are perfectly cast and the story is so fun!! Do yourself a favor and jump into this book.

I loved this series!

I really enjoyed this series (go to the author’s website to see the other audiobooks for this series). Good character development, I liked the banter.

Picky reader rating: 4.25⭐

This book had a solid start. The diologue and character development were respectable, which is more than I can say about a lot of fantasy/romance books I've read lately! After some redundant/ unnecessary plot holes, a sprinkle of over-dramatic miscommunication and a meandering path to the finale, I'm still routing for our main couple and crossing my fingers that the slow burn keeps burning, character growth continues. and we find out more about a few mysterious dragged out throughout the whole book.

A little slow to start but beautiful

This story grew on me. The narration is amazing. The story surprised me. I couldn’t stop listening. The balance of plot and romance is solid, with a true slow burn and one spicy scene that is beautifully written. I love the characters and the twist at the end made me chuckle to myself because of course. I love this FMC. She’s sassy. The writing is sometimes lyrical and the author handles the characters sensitively, building their complexity a little at a time. The setting and characters are well developed and the magic system is still somewhat mysterious at the end, but that is a good thing because it is part of why I want to read the sequels. If you liked The Road of Bones, The Winter King, or Daughter of No Worlds you will love this one too.

Love this🩷🩷

I was trying to listen to book 2 I’m about to buy it and read it… This book will have you on your toes… You won’t know your at the end
