The Violet Mage

Kingdom of Ash and Water, Book 1

Ophelia Ivrea, the youngest princess of Maraleon, leads a life of little responsibility. Known throughout the nobility as having a mouth as sharp as her shooting, Ophelia spends her days shooting archery, riding her horse, and pushing the boundaries of her father’s patience.

However, Ophelia's quiet castle life is upended when an opponent at an archery tournament accuses her of using magic to cheat, and his claims are not refuted. Ophelia then learns of the secrets her father has hidden from her—not only was she was born with great magic, she is also the one foretold to save mankind from its forthcoming annihilation.

Feeling terrified and inadequate, and armed only with the magical abilities she all too recently learned she possessed, Ophelia decides to uncover the truth of the past and find a way to save the ones she loves from imminent destruction before it’s too late.

Narrator is phenomenal

I devoured this audiobook . The narrator does a phenomenal job. She’s a powerhouse and her range is incredible.

The story at first felt like Brave with a twist but as it went on the one similarities to Brave was her having red hair and knows how to use a bow and arrow.
Has a great unique story and I loved the side characters!
Excited to continue this series . This was an amazing debut.

Mrs. Powell is a Queen

This is the author’s first book and let me tell you, it did not disappoint, I think we can expect so much from her in the future!! And this narrator is fire! I will definitely be searching her for more titles!

This book got a little bit of a slow start as do most Romantasy series, with all the world building and all of that, but then it took off and I was hooked. I am in love with these characters. I think they were so well written and so much fun to be in heads of. I will be reading book 2 as soon as possible, and I will be yelling at the author for the cliffhanger I know is coming after having suffered through the cliffhanger of this book, but as angry at the cliffhanger as I will be, I know that I'm going to love that book as much as I did this one.

loved!

This was a great book! The ending has me needing more! I cant wait to continue this story!
