Publisher's summary

Lorynthia: From the Western Sea to the Badlands, and from the Dragon Mountains to the Red Desert live a diverse people who, for thirty years, have enjoyed a tentative peace. King Rhyman Thimpor united them, holding them together by sheer force of will.

But Rhyman is dead, felled by an unknown malady, and the throne stands empty. Lorynthia holds its collective breath. Who will rule them now? Will the peace Rhyman crafted survive his passing? They look to the capital city, Cyrinth, and await the coronation of the next monarch.

However, Lorynthia's past misleads them, the future draws them into devastating war, and their enemies approach through the shadows to finish them. Their only chance of survival? A young woman who is both citizen and outcast.

Tamyr Thimpor has it in her power to salvage both the past and the future. But, never having aspired to the throne, Tamyr does not want to lead these people. Worse, she does not know who she truly is and has no inkling of the power she may someday wield. Yet, if she does not accept and unleash the power that resides within her, all is lost.

Tamyr, the Reluctant Queen, is Lorynthia's only hope.

Interesting New Fantasy Series

Tony 's first fantasy novel overall is a good read. The tale's pacing is awkward for the first half or so (I will be honest here and say that early on I had to sometimes force myself to keep listening), but the reader is rewarded for sticking with it. Once the story does really get going, it does so with startling revelations and an interesting plot.

The narrator is a good one, while he does "emote" for character dialogue, he does not give "voices" for each character which may be disappointing to some. In spite of this "flatness", he does not sound robotic or artificial and tells the story clearly.

I look forward to the next book in this series!

Badass FMC!

This is an awesome book for readers who enjoyed TOG! The FMC is awesome and the plot is unique and different! The narrator is easy to listen to as well! I’m stoked for the next book when it comes out!
