Bloomsbury presents The Rider's Reign by Jessica Day George, read by Helen Keeley.

The breath-taking conclusion to bestselling author Jessica Day George's heartfelt fantasy series about a girl using her ability to communicate with horses to save the future of her kingdom.

Anthea and her friends are on a mission. Anthea's mother has kidnapped a Coronami princess, the herd stallion, and half a dozen more horses—enough to start her own herd. Suspecting that she is making a deal with the antagonistic emperor of the neighboring land, Kronenhof, Anthea and her friends race there to meet with the emperor and try to find Princess Margaret and the horses.

But they don't have much time before Coronam declares war against Kronenhof, which would leave Anthea and her companions trapped in a hostile country. Will they be able to outmaneuver Anthea's mother, who has always been one step ahead of them? And what should they do about the rumors of wild horses in Kronenhof's forests?

The Rose Legacy series comes to an thrilling conclusion as bestselling author Jessica Day George delights readers—especially horse lovers—once again.©2020 Jessica Day George (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

A fresh, original story that will warm hearts and entertain readers of all ages.

Set in a fascinating and fantastic new world, The Rose Legacy will make you long for a horse of your own!

Will delight readers who love a classic-feeling fantasy, as well as those who absolutely love horses . . . This thought-provoking fantasy with relatable characters is clever and heartfelt.

This tale will speak to readers who feel like an outsider, as well as those who adore animals . . . Readers who love Shannon Hale’s fiction, Kristin Bailey’s middle grade stories, and Megan Shepherd’s The Secret Horses of Briar Hill will be captivated by this luminous start to a new series.

Original and taut . . . A rich story with plenty of surprising plot twists and a strong undercurrent of female empowerment.

Good

What happened to the mother though? And Constantine! He comforts Anthea in the end! ❤️❤️❤️
The ending seemed a little rushed, but other than that, I did enjoy this series.

Pretty Good

The conclusion of this series was rather good though I do wish that Jessica had finished the story a little bit more.
