Publisher's Summary

The first book in the million-copy, Wall Street Journal bestselling Kingfountain series from Jeff Wheeler.

King Severn Argentine’s fearsome reputation precedes him: usurper of the throne, killer of rightful heirs, ruthless punisher of traitors. Attempting to depose him, the Duke of Kiskaddon gambles...and loses. Now the duke must atone by handing over his young son, Owen, as the king’s hostage. And should his loyalty falter again, the boy will pay with his life.

Seeking allies and eluding Severn’s spies, Owen learns to survive in the court of Kingfountain. But when new evidence of his father’s betrayal threatens to seal his fate, Owen must win the vengeful king’s favor by proving his worth - through extraordinary means. And only one person can aid his desperate cause: a mysterious woman, dwelling in secrecy, who truly wields power over life, death, and destiny.

Slow

I found this story slow. And didn’t really like the narrator. Perhaps it was made for a younger audience. It took me multiple tries to get through it. I wouldn’t recommend it as a purchase.

Excellent Writing, Amazing Narrator

Not only was this story incredibly unique, well written & captivating, but the narration was some of the best I've ever heard. Kate Rudd's soft tone captures Ankarette's kindness, lethality & delicate nature perfectly. Her ability to transition from one character to the next is seamless, making you feel as though you really are listening to conversations between many different individuals. This is not only a book for teens or young adults, but gor any fans of the science fiction & fantasy genre.
