From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes a sweeping new fantasy series.

 

17 year old Ceres, a beautiful, poor girl in the Empire city of Delos, lives the harsh and unforgiving life of a commoner. By day she delivers her father’s forged weapons to the palace training grounds, and by night she secretly trains with them, yearning to be a warrior in a land where girls are forbidden to fight. With her pending sale to slavehood, she is desperate.

 

18 year old Prince Thanos despises everything his royal family stands for. He abhors their harsh treatment of the masses, especially the brutal competition—The Killings—that lies at the heart of the city. He yearns to break free from the restraints of his upbringing, yet he, a fine warrior, sees no way out.

 

When Ceres stuns the court with her hidden powers, she finds herself wrongfully imprisoned, doomed to an even worse life than she could imagine. Thanos, smitten, must choose if he will risk it all for her. Yet, thrust into a world of duplicity and deadly secrets, Ceres quickly learns there are those who rule, and those who are their pawns. And that sometimes, being chosen is the worst that can happen.

 

SLAVE, WARRIOR, QUEEN tells an epic tale of tragic love, vengeance, betrayal, ambition, and destiny. Filled with unforgettable characters and heart-pounding action, it transports us into a world we will never forget, and makes us fall in love with fantasy all over again.

 

Book #2 in OF CROWNS AND GLORY is now available!

Ratings and reviews

In my opinion it was beyond awful. At first it was okay but then it slowly got worse till i felt like it was falling off a cliff. Towards the end of the book the main caterers act in an unreasonable emotional way that didnt make sense at all. I wanted to stop then and there but thought and hoped it would get better. I was wrong. I don't recommend this unless unless you like emotional book. I am sorry to the author for my review but i thought i should speek my mind.

It wasn't a bad listen. There were a few parts that felt poorly done. My big issue was towards the end. It just fell apart for me. A character that only read as one sided goes against everything you know of their personality. Thinking and hoping for one thing. Then just doing a complete 180 the next chapter with no lead up to why or that would make sense. I feel really confused about the last few chapters for sure.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to the next book in the series. Initially i didn't think i would be into this genre but the story kept me tuned in. It was the first ever audio book i listened to but after listening to others from other authors i realized I'm a Morgan Rice fan. There was so much action and twist in the story that i couldn't wait to resume listening. Now I'm off to the next book in the series to see where this story takes me!
