The Caged Queen
- Narrated by: Aysha Kala
Kristen Ciccarelli’s distinctly haunting, lyrical fantasy franchise continues to accompany her best-selling debut, The Last Namsara. Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and Renee Ahdieh.
Once upon a time, there were two sisters who were born with such a strong bond that they were attached to each other forever. Roa and Essie call it a humming. It was a magic they cherished – until a terrible accident took Essie’s life and locked her soul in this world.
Dax – heir to the throne of Firgaard – is responsible for the accident. Roa vowed to hate him forever. But eight years later, he returned, begging for her help. He is determined to overthrow his evil father, who has suffered under the oppressive reign that the people of Roa endured.
Roa made a deal with him: She would give him the army he needed if he made her queen. Only as queen can she save her people from Firgaard’s rule.
Then a chance to correct any mistakes arises – a chance for Roa to escape this enemy king and rescue her beloved sister. During the Feast of Renunciation, when the souls of the dead are said to return, Roa discovers that she can claim her sister forever.
All she had to do was kill the king.
I listened to this whole book in one sitting.. like the first one, this one is very good. I think I love it even more! I can’t wait to read the third and final part! The love stories in this are very well written and the love theme throughout is very skillfully done! She did it again!
