The Pyramid Waltz

By: Barbara Ann Wright

Narrated by: Keira Grace

To most, Princess Katya Nar Umbriel is a rogue and a layabout; she parties, she hunts, and she breaks women's hearts. But when the festival lights go down and the palace slumbers, Katya chases traitors to the crown and protects the kingdom's greatest secret: The royal Umbriels are part Fiend. When Katya thwarts an attempt to expose the king's monstrous side, she uncovers a plot to let the Fiends out to play.

Starbride has no interest in being a courtier. Ignoring her mother's order to snare an influential spouse, she comes to court only to study law. But a flirtatious rake of a princess proves hard to resist, and Starbride is pulled into a world of secrets that leaves little room for honesty or love, a world neither woman may survive.

Great book!

This was a great introduction to this author. The plot and intrigue were excellent! The two main characters were really good. I hope there will be additional audio books of this story line!

Sapphic Fantasy Romance!

I love the romance and intrigue in this book. Wright weaves a familiar tale with plenty of new twists. I really enjoyed her handling of Katya's double life: wanting something and someone for herself while playing the role of the rake to protect her secret identity as protector of the crown.

Fun Fantasy that happens to be queer

it was a great fantasy story. Loved the characters and fantasy land. I wish there was a more flushed out ending or another book. Really appreciated the nonchalant acceptance of gay characters.

Finally!

I’ve been waiting for this audiobook for years and I’m so excited it’s finally here! I hope the next is here soon!
