The Queen of Attolia

Queen's Thief, Book 2

By: Megan Whalen Turner

Narrated by: Owen Findlay

The second novel in the Queen's Thief series. Forsaken by the gods and left to his own devices, Eugenides, Royal Thief of Eddis, summons all his wit and wiles in an attempt to conquer the rival queen of Attolia.

Revenge...

When Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole Hamiathes' Gift, the queen of Attolia lost more than a mythical relic. She lost face. Everyone knew that Eugenides had outwitted and escaped her. To restore her reputation and reassert her power, the queen of Attolia will go to any length and accept any help that is offered...she will risk her country to execute the perfect revenge.

...but...

Eugenides can steal anything. And he taunts the queen of Attolia, moving through her strongholds seemingly at will. So Attolia waits, secure in the knowledge that the Thief will slip, that he will haunt her palace one too many times.

...at what price?

When Eugenides finds his small mountain country at war with Attolia, he must steal a man, he must steal a queen, he must steal peace. But his greatest triumph—and his greatest loss—comes in capturing something that the queen of Attolia thought she had sacrificed long ago....

Excellent

Absolutely addicted to this wonderful series. World building is masterful, the stories are gripping and the narrator is perfection.

Transfixing

This story, like it’s predecessor so engaging and so brilliantly performed that I found it difficult to tear myself away from my car (and the story) upon arriving at work, and would frequently sit in my garage when arriving home for just an extra 20 minutes or so.
