Queen of the Chimera

The Novi Navarro Chronicles, Book 3

De: Emigh Cannaday

Narrado por: Nick Cracknell

A sinister force rising from the shadows. A future king fighting to protect his legacy. A future queen destined to rise.

Forbidden Kaos magic has been found in the walls of Blackwood Castle, forcing Prince Fallon to face a new kind of enemy—a darkness that threatens not only his kingdom, but the very foundation of his bloodline.

With secrets buried deep within his court and a Royal Council that undermines him at every chance, Fallon is running out of people he can trust. When a mysterious stranger arrives in Sinaryos with an offer that seems too good to be true, Prince Fallon is poisoned by the most deadly substance of all—

Hope.

Novi Navarro has risen to a place of prominence beside Fallon. Blessed by the gods with a demonborn life, she is adored by the people of Sinaryos . . . just not the people in power. Her fierce loyalty and devotion are all that stand between her and Fallon, and the forces that seek to tear them apart.

Fallon and Novi must learn to trust one another while uncovering devastating secrets and facing their demons—the demons that live in the Temple of the Chimera, the demons lurking at court, and the demons within themselves.

Contains mature themes.

Be still my heart ❤️

Oh my goodness! This book ... THIS SERIES WAS AMAZING. My heart is still racing! The twists and turns! I almost stopped part way through I was so upset with what was happening but glad I stuck through to the end! GOLD STARS!

I don't know how to feel about this book

The central theme of this trilogy is undeniably love, yet I find myself utterly baffled by the complexity of Fallon’s emotions. He repeatedly professes his love for Novi, a character who embodies loyalty and devotion, yet he shockingly tells another woman that he would "burn" for her. Hearing this almost made me throw my phone across the room in disbelief! It was infuriating to witness his intense desire for the other woman, leaving me frustrated and bewildered.

Novi, on the other hand, remains steadfast in her faithfulness. She portrays the unconditional support of a loving partner rather than the chaos that typically accompanies infidelity. She acts with the grace and commitment that one would expect from a devoted spouse or “ concubine”, and seeing her treated this way is heart-wrenching.

Throughout the latter half of the book, Fallon attempts to delve into the concept of wanting “more,” wanting it “all,” and portrays a deeper understanding of the emotional turmoil that comes with it. Yet, despite these reflections, he is still “in love with Novi” leading to a compelling but contradictory narrative. This has left me grappling with my feelings about the story; I can’t reconcile Fallon’s professed feelings for Novi with his overwhelming lust for another's so-called “power.” The emotional conflict in this book is driving me to the edge! He supposedly lusts for her “power,” yet when he first saw her, he was so checking her out!

Blew It Out Of The Water

Emigh Cannaday has outdone herself! I didn't think either series could could get better but boy was I WRONG!

The detail, intrigue, keep you on your toes and guessing action!

The steamy scene between Fallon and Annika (fanning myself over here)! So Much beautifully interwoven information and delights! Truly there's no end to what this author can write!

AMAZING 👏 🤩!!!!!
