What to expect
The bustling city-state of Marchen borders the seats of the Three Queens, represented by the spindle, the slipper and the apple.
But it’s been a hundred years since the rule of the Three Queens. The time of the godmothers has passed. If you want access to magic you either have to be one of the few who are born with it and live in hiding. Or extremely wealthy.
Samara Dawa is a former assassin, stolen from her family and sold to the assassin’s guild when she was a child. When the opportunity to destroy the man who sold her comes up, she doesn’t hesitate. Only all isn’t what it seems. Soon Samara finds herself needing to infiltrate a magical auction run by the mysterious Order of Grimm.
The main item for sale: the last descendant of Queen White.
To pull off this heist she’ll need to put together a crew: an inside man, an explosives expert, a kinetics expert, a master forger, and a getaway driver.
And she needs to do this all under the nose of her boss: the head of the thieves guild.
Critics Review
-
“Original, riveting, fun, this deftly produced, complete, and unabridged audiobook…provides the listener with a true ‘theater of the mind’ experience…This expertly crafted production from Spoken Realms is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal and community library audiobook collections.”
Midwest Book Review
-
“Veteran narrator Shiromi Arserio takes on a new role as author, and who better to narrate the audiobook than she?…In the best storytelling tradition, she maintains an intimate relationship with the listener. Each chapter begins with a quote from a historical document or chronicle, which provides a bigger-picture comment or social commentary. Arserio smoothly transitions from those to the business at hand.”
