Lost Crow Conspiracy

by Rosalyn Eves Narrated by Fiona Hardingham, Steve West

Overview

Lost Crow Conspiracy is the dark, dazzling, action-packed sequel to Anna Arden's explosive societal debut in YA fantasy trilogy Blood Rose Rebellion.

Sixteen-year old Anna Arden was once just the magically barren girl from an elite Luminate family. Now she has broken the Binding--and Praetheria, the creatures held captive by the spell, wreak havoc across Europe. Lower-class citizens have access to magic for the first time, while other Luminates lose theirs forever. Austria and Hungary are at odds once more.

Anna Arden did not know breaking the Binding would break the world.

Anna thought the Praetheria were on her side, content and grateful to be free from the Binding. She thought her cousin Matyas's blood sacrifice to the disarm the spell would bring peace, equality, justice. She thought her future looked like a society that would let her love a Romani boy, Gabor.

But with the Monarchy breathing down her neck and the Praetheria intimidating her at every turn, it seems the conspiracies have only just begun.

As threat of war sweeps the region, Anna quickly discovers she can't solve everything on her own. Now there's only one other person who might be able to save the country before war breaks out. The one person Anna was sure she'd never see again. A bandit. A fellow outlaw. A man known as the King of Crows. Matyas.

MAY 2018 - AudioFile

Fiona Hardingham and Steve West bring rich, intense narrations to the second book in the Blood Rose Rebellion series. The story alternates between accounts told by spell-breaking Anna (Hardingham) and shape-shifting Mátyás (West), weaving mid-nineteenth-century European history with fantasy to build a complex and believable world. In an emotionally connected performance, Hardingham sounds warm and sincere. She fully conveys Anna’s anguish as she comes to realize what her actions have wrought. West’s resonant tones and unhurried pace perfectly embody Mátyás’s dilemma when he wakes from death to discover that more heroic deeds are required of him. Knowledge of the first book is needed to understand the action here, and a cliff-hanger ending promises more political intrigue and romantic entanglements. S.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
