The Shadow Queen

by C.J. Redwine Narrated by Khristine Hvam

Overview

Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and her father's life. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common-magic. She'll have to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than Irina, the most dangerous sorceress Ravenspire has ever seen.


In the neighboring kingdom of Eldr, when Prince Kol's father and older brother are killed by an invading army of magic wielding ogres, the second-born prince is suddenly given the responsibility of saving his kingdom. To do that, Kol needs magic of his own-and the only way to get it is to make a deal with the queen of Ravenspire, promise to become her personal huntsman-and bring her Lorelai's heart.


But Lorelai is nothing like Kol expected-beautiful, fierce, and unstoppable-and despite dark magic, Lorelai is drawn in by the passionate and troubled king. Fighting to stay one step ahead of the dragon huntsman-who she likes far more than she should-Lorelai does everything in her power to ruin the wicked queen. But Irina isn't going down without a fight, and her final move may cost the princess the one thing she still has left to lose.

Narrator Khristine Hvam captures the suspenseful moments and complex emotions of main character Lorelai in this adventure-filled Snow White adaptation. Hvam maintains a fierce and angry tone for Lorelai as she travels through the lands, building up her strength and confidence in order to face the evil queen in the ultimate magical clash. Hvam only softens Lorelai’s voice momentarily when she falls in love with the king of a neighboring kingdom, who is also the queen’s huntsman, but then she remembers family members she has lost and hardens her heart. Listeners will absorb Lorelai’s passion and feel as though they are fighting right alongside her to defeat the evil queen and reclaim the throne. M.D. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
