The Everlasting Rose

The Belles Series, Book 2

By: Dhonielle Clayton

Narrated by: Rosie Jones

With a price on her head, the evil Queen Sophia out for blood, and no idea who to trust, Camellia Beaureguard, the former favorite Belle, must race against time to find the ailing Princess Charlotte, who has disappeared without a trace. Sophia's imperial forces will stop at nothing to keep Camille, her sister, Edel, and her loyal guard, Remy, from returning Charlotte to the palace and her rightful place as queen.

With the help of an underground resistance movement called the Iron Ladies - a society that rejects beauty treatments entirely - and the backing of alternative newspaper The Spider's Web, Camille uses her powers, her connections, and her cunning to outwit her greatest nemesis, Sophia, and attempt to restore peace to Orleans. But enemies lurk in the most unexpected places, forcing Camille to decide just how much she's willing to sacrifice to save her people.

A Booklist pick of the day. A Tor.com reviewers' choice of this winter's upcoming young-adult SFF books.

Great story fantastic narrator

This was a great story (the belles and this sequel) I really enjoyed the imagery and storyline and the narrator is fantastic, I wish all books were read by here on this app. So good!

EXCELLENT SERIES!

Just terrific! Superb in both the writing and the narration. What a world, what a world!! Just takes you up and carries you away. There is one more book to go in the series, and I cannot wait to see what happens! ☺️

couldn't stop listening!

Rosie Jones gives such a characteristic performance and brings to life the self absorbed over indulgent populace that Dhonielle Clayton so beautifully created

Love the storyline

Innovative and gives the reader everything they need in this sequel! Love Black girl sci-fi

“Pretty Hurts”

I liked how art imitates life. People may judge the characters in this fictional world; however, they need to hold up the mirror of truth to their own faces. Everyone has more power than they know. There is always other layers to reveal. This series is captivating and transformative.
