The Andari Chronicles, Book 3

By: Kenley Davidson

Narrated by: Esther Wane

A stunning romantic fantasy inspired by The Twelve Dancing Princesses....

Princess Ilani is an outcast, shunned since her seventh birthday for possessing forbidden magic. But when her 12 sisters are trapped by a deception that threatens to tear their father's empire apart, Ilani must come out of hiding and join forces with a devilishly charming foreigner whose motives remain shrouded by secrecy and mistrust.

Lord Kyril Seagrave is on a covert mission into the heart of the Caelani Empire, where he finds himself adrift in a realm of impenetrable mystery and dangerous magic. Armed with nothing but determination and a set of ill-matched companions, Kyril soon realizes there is far more at stake than he could have imagined, and one misstep could prove disastrous not only to Andar, but to the beautiful and indomitable princess he would give his life to protect.

Kyril and Ilani must decide whether to trust one another as they fight for their lives, their future, and the future of Caelan itself. As darkness gathers and deadly plans come to light, the princess once forgotten by her people may be the only one who can save them from the ambitions of a treacherous adversary.

Wonderfully written and narrated

I started listening to this series because I had listened to another series of books by Ester Wane, falling in love with her unique voice that is enjoyable hear. As I listened to the first book, I realized that this storyline was completely different than what I expected and was drawn into this series as well. Even though it is a storyline that a lot of fantasy writers do try to use, this was such a unique perspective. I enjoyed the flow of the book with many surprises that pop up unexpectedly. I enjoyed listening to a clean, unadulterated story that I could recommend to friends. I look forward to the rest of this series.

Best book in the series yet!

I love how each book is tied together with one character from the first book.

Lovely

One of my favorite of the series. Lovely story and narration. Can’t get enough of Kyril Seagrave. :)
