The King's Weapon

Of Fire and Lies, Book 1

De: Neena Laskowski

Narrado por: Jacci Prior, Michael Gallagher

"Kallie would no longer have to fear the fire consuming her, for she would become the fire. And she would set the world ablaze and watch it burn before her."

Kallie's next assignment from her father, the king of Ardentol: Choose a suitor, capture his heart—then take his throne.

Although the Great War that split Vaneria into seven kingdoms ended one hundred years ago, its shadow looms over the people. Due to her unique gift from the gods, Kallie has become her father's errand girl and his key to uniting the kingdoms once again. For years, she has trained her body, her mind, and her ability to manipulate people, but she wishes to be more, to have more control over her life and more power. The success of this assignment will finally prove that she is capable of just that.

However, the mission quickly goes awry when an enemy kingdom captures Kallie on her way to her chosen suitor's palace. As her captors drag her across Vaneria, she must face the truth that there might be more to her story than she once thought. While she may be a master of manipulation, she is not immune to it.

Now Kallie must decide: is she the one doing the manipulating, or is someone else manipulating her?

The first book in the series, The King's Weapon is an upper YA fantasy filled with action, betrayal, witty banter, and tension. Fans of Bridge Kingdom, Throne of Glass, and Graceling are sure to enjoy.

Amazing!

The narrators did an amazing job. I absolutely adore Jacci!! She crushed it. This book was so good and I’m mad it took me so long to start it. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!

FREAKING AMAZING

This is giving The Prison Healer X A Thousand Heartbeats JUST GO READ IT. I need to read it again to wrap my mind around it

interesting twist

feminine power and interesting unique plot that keeps the listener wondering where his or her loyalties will lie in the end

Hoped for better

"This book started with promise, a slow burn that unfortunately never ignited. Despite the main character's constant assertions of strength, she came across as whiny and ineffective. The ending was both nonsensical and anticlimactic. I'm deeply disappointed and won't be continuing the series. Save your money."

Meh, another YA Romantasy

Well another romantasy gone wrong and a waste of time.
Please don't waste your reading time on this.
Redundant. Slow. Immature and annoying MC. Storyline going nowhere. Tension-yeah from the lack of all of the above!
The main character is a lack luster wanna be bad ass. Trained to be one from what we are continuously told but it never shows.
The author will say the same dang thing 7-8 times in a different way to explain or describe something, I mean come on, we get it already!
Stupid ending-just putting that out there now. Don't think you will be excited or happy to go onto the next book. I cut my losses with this one.
I get the need to write and capitalize on this wave of YA/Romantasy but do the publishers and editors really read these???
