Kingdom of Shadows and Dust

By: Sherry D. Ficklin

Narrated by: Krystal Hammond

As the king’s only daughter, Ava was supposed to be many things - meek, submissive, and above all, silent. While she dreams of fighting alongside the armies of Ankara, she’s forced to hide her identity behind a veil.

It seems her prayers are answered when fate intervenes, allowing Ava to sneak away and join the battle. Yet, the tides of war turn on her, leaving the young beauty defeated...her hopes shattered. Her only chance at salvation is Callan, a mysterious black wolf willing to risk everything by hiding her away among his kind.

But there are some dangers far more ominous than the snapping jaws of a wolf.

Ripped away from the brave Turnskins, Ava is imprisoned by the beguiling Shadow King who fills her head with promises of peace and a haze of passion. Forced to choose between her family, the bond she shares with Callan, and the handsome king's striking proposal, Ava finds herself torn between duty and desire.

When an unthinkable sacrifice is required to save all she holds dear, will Ava accept the crushing demands of taking the crown or follow her heart to the forbidden touch she desperately craves?

Not Sure How I Feel

The main character was a little annoying.
Mid-way, I was tired of the nonsense and went to the end. Even at the end the main character was annoying.
The narrator is fine only while using a faster speed.

Wow what a story of love, family, kingdom, war, and heartbreak. What a journey of self discovery and finding what is really important in your life and what you are willing to fight for and that ending!! Be still my heart!!! can't wait for book 2 for the journey to continue!!
