The Emerald Queen Rises

The Emerald Queen Series, Book 1

By: Maegwen Salley-Massie

Narrated by: David Gurney

Welcome, brave listener, to a tale of curses, kingdoms, ancient magic… and at least two people who desperately need a vacation but are far too heroic for that.

You are about to enter the seven kingdoms—lands that have been cursed for thousands of years, which is honestly a bit dramatic, but here we are. Hope, however, has arrived in the form of Queen Sealyn of Elysium: bearer of uninfected blood, wielder of destiny, and professional overachiever. If anyone can lift this ancient curse, it’s her… probably.

Then there’s Jace—Stoltland’s royal outcast, accidental heartthrob, and a man who really didn’t plan on falling painfully, inconveniently, politically disastrously in love with the queen of his family’s greatest enemy. Truly, his timing could use some work.

Together, Sealyn and Jace must face a darkness resurrected by a rival queen who has embraced the curse like it’s a lifestyle brand. Old powers are stirring, loyalties are cracking, hearts are colliding, and choices must be made that could save—or shatter—the seven kingdoms.

So sit back, get comfortable, and prepare yourself.

Destiny is calling.

Magic is awakening.

And our heroes are… doing their best.

Welcome to Book One. Let the adventure begin with the wonderful accents that await you, my friend.
