The Last Great Heir

Feast and Famine

By: Carina Finn

Narrated by: Laura Knight Keating

The female heirs of two opposing families must duel for guardianship of the land in this stunning fantasy adventure debut!

Merriment Feast's life is one constant party, complete with dazzling gowns and delicious pastries. Everything is perfect … except for her aunt's physically grueling training. Merri believes it's her responsibility to protect her family's traditions and the power they've held for generations.

Rue Famine knows that only Feasts benefit from Feast rule. As the heir of House Famine, she spends her days studying potion-making in an enormous, dusty library and learning how to use her magic to help others.

Custom dictates that the heirs of Feast and Famine must duel on their thirteenth birthday. Only one family can rule the land of Fauret, and Merri and Rue have been raised as rivals.

But as the contest draws near and dangers escalate, their true enemy may be a shared one …

"Incredibly creative and atmospheric … An enchanting entreaty to both follow your heart and examine its prejudices."—Booklist

Love it!

My daughter bought the hardcopy book and loves it. I bought the audio version, so that I can connect with my daughter and chat about the characters. I am so happy that I did as I love this book. The narration is wonderful. The characters are great and I have really enjoyed the writing of this fantasy world. This is a great read! Can't wait for book 2 and continuing this adventure with my daughter. Five stars. Thank you.
