To Ride the Wind

A Retelling of East of the Sun and West of the Moon (Four Kingdoms Duology, Book 1)

De: Melanie Cellier

Narrado por: Esther Wane

Charlotte has always longed to be accepted by her older sisters. She would gladly exchange her vaunted beauty for their friendship. But they ask a far higher price. Pushed into marriage with a stranger, Charlotte is left betrayed and alone. All she knows of her new husband is that he has secrets—and that her heart beats a little faster whenever he calls her Lottie.

Princess Gwendolyn's people are different—that’s why they dwell high in the mountains, far from all other kingdoms. So she’s shocked when she discovers her mother plans to marry her by force to a stranger from outside their lands. And when she uncovers the full truth, she knows the queen's scheming has gone too far. Gwen must intervene before her mother’s destructive touch blights the entire world. If only there was someone who could help her. But the boy who was Gwen's only true friend has long since disappeared, and she'd do anything to find him. But her mother has made that impossible.

In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, a commoner and a princess must forge a friendship in order to find a path through the secrets and lies that surround them.

Two retelling

It's a retelling of east of the sun West of the moon a story I had not heard of before but it's also the retelling of Cupids story which I did know. I really liked it. I loved that it has two separate romances.

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!!!

Great story, wonderful narration. I really enjoyed this version of the fairytale and loved revisiting old characters like Charlie and Henry, as well as meeting some new ones.

The story.

I loved the story line and the passion in which Melanie Cellier wrote her captivating tale.

Wonderful for retelling!

I love all of her retellings of fairy tales! I have listened to them several times. I highly recommend!

Absolutely love

She just Gets better and better  I absolutely love her books please don’t ever stop writing them

Very fun and exciting

Fun story. You just need to read the next book to hear the conclusion. I am not familiar with this fairytale, so it was fun to not know what to expect from the story.

Well Written and Read!

Melanie Cellier is one of my favorite authors and I've been through many of her books. This is in the top 10.

Such a creative story!! Adventure, friendship, and so much good problem solving. I could not guess so many of the things that happened but I was never left with a stressful cliff hanger or that "too dramatic" piece that I have to skip over from other authors. I can't wait to hear how they all get to their happily ever after!

The reader is great! One of my favorites!

Can not wait for the next book

Melanie is a master story teller and her retellings of classic fairy tales are enthralling and enchanting. I am waiting for the next book to be out in audio format but have read all her other books and bonus chapters on her website and loved every one of them.

An amazing book

Another excellent story told by Melanie Cellier. I especially love the romance between Henry and Charlotte. Even though it is a fairytale I'm not super familiar with, I was hooked immediately. Melanie Cellier is a genius at writing these connected stories and making the people and places feel real.

Sweet and Entertaining

Thank you for yet another beautifully written and entertaining story. Captivating plot and well expanded characters.
