The King's Daughters

Prince Amir, Book 2

By: Nathalie Mallet

Narrated by: David Marantz

Far to the north of the hot desert land of Telfar lies the frozen kingdom of Sorvinka. Prince Amir has traveled there, leaving his sultanate in the hands of his half-brother, Erik, as he seeks to ask the king, the father of the beautiful Princess Eva, for her hand in marriage. But Sorvinka has grown dangerous during Princess Eva's absence, as she and Amir discover to their terror, when their force of guards and eunuchs is cut down by ruthless brigands. And upon their arrival, their welcome to Eva's family stronghold is as bitterly cold as the land itself. Accustomed to the golden cage of his upbringing, Prince Amir must navigate his way through the strange and cold-blooded customs of the Sorvinkans, and somehow find the truth behind the kidnapping of the king’s youngest daughter, the Princess Aurora, by the Sorvinkan’s traditional enemies, the neighboring Farrellians. But what can a stranger in a foreign land do?

A who done it yarn with fairytale undercurrents

Like the first book this story has an undercurrent of fairytales, this time mostly Russian-ish, where our prince has to battle his upbringing and prejudice to solve what’s going on and why, let alone who is responsible.
A light but enjoyable read/listen and well worth the credit.
