The Queen of Ieflaria

Tales of Inthya, Book 1

By: Effie Calvin

Narrated by: Brenda Scott Wlazlo

Princess Esofi of Rhodia and Crown Prince Albion of Ieflaria have been betrothed since they were children, though the great distance between their kingdoms mean the two have never met. Upon coming of age, Esofi makes the long journey to Ieflaria for her wedding, only to learn Albion was recently killed in a tragic accident.

With dragons threatening to overrun the kingdom, Ieflaria is desperate for an alliance with Rhodia. As a result, Esofi is offered a new betrothal to Albion's younger sister, the new Crown Princess Adale. But Adale is irresponsible and wild and has no plans of taking the throne, leaving Esofi with more to battle than fire-breathing beasts.

So freaking good

I stayed up late to finishing this book it was so good. Loved the world building and character development. Plot was good and can’t wait for the next book. No spice.

Engaging world building.

I loved the world building in this book. Effie Calvin has done a wonderful job of explaining the world and important elements of it.

She’s also very good at showing how the characters can have different interpretations of world events based on their upbringing
