The Defiant Heir

De: Melissa Caruso

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

Across the border, the Witch Lords of Vaskandar are preparing for war. But before an invasion can begin, they must call a rare gathering of all 17 lords to decide a course of action.

Lady Amalia Cornaro knows that this Conclave might be her only chance to smother the growing flames of war, and she is ready to make any sacrifice if it means saving Raverra from destruction.

Amalia and Zaira must go behind enemy lines, using every ounce of wit and cunning they have, to sway Vaskandar from war. Or else it will all come down to swords and fire.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Breathtaking... Worth every moment and every page, and should make anyone paying attention excited about what Caruso will write next." (BookPage)

Great fantastic amazing

I thought the first one was good! This has even more adventure and wit combined with suspense and love. I need the third book on audible!!!!

I finished this in 2 days

A unique and epic tale full of politics and magic. This is one of my favorite trilogies to date and I haven’t even finished it!
As always the narrator really makes this worth the listen. I wish every book was narrated by Saskia Maarleveld!

I love this series.

I can't wait to what happens in the next book. The only draw back is the triangle love situation. I kind of find that over done in a lot of these types of books. Otherwise I recommend this book.

Amalia's Continued Growth

amalia's is still the star, with zaiera and Verde continue to help and push her, and give solace. but the new players, like the crowlord, love that man as much as Amalia. some returning characters don't get their comeuppance, but there's a third book! the story flowed logically, never rushing or stalling for something that wasn't for the plot or character's sakes. on to the next

A new Author to follow!

I am eagerly awaiting the next book. With a new writer, new to me, you can really tell if the second book was as much of a hit as the first book. I picked this series up by happenstance, and I am so glad I did. I love fantasy, and I love engaging worlds. Melissa has written a book that has engaging characters, deep plot, and deep background. You can feel the wheels turning behind the scene which makes it lots of fun to guess as to what is to happen next. Her Narrator is very gifted as well, each character has their own voice, which makes the entire series so enhanced. Truly I love this book and series!

Better than the first!

Intrigue, romance, and magic. What else could you ask for? I love the development of all of the characters and the introduction of new ones.

#3 NOT ON AUDIBLE

I was really disappointed to find our that #3 was only in print.

Other than that, I loved it and thought it was even better than the 1st.

Best Author!!

I found this author on Twitter ~ where she discusses best corsets for fighting, favorite weapons, and tea! Because of her dedication & outlandish hobbies.. her books feel more *real* than most. I so easily get lost in them ^.^ When I sent off on my honeymoon, I took this series on my plane ride! I truly love her work!!!

Great story in this trilogy!!!

Excellent writing, story that keeps drawing you in and wondering what will happen next!! Love this trilogy!!!

I couldn't follow this story line at all...

it was difficult to follow...I won't read another book written by this author . I was disappointed
