The Usurper's Throne

Charassi's Fae Queen, Book 2

By: Ava Richardson

Narrated by: Mago Weston

A dragon bond, a usurped throne, and a realm on the brink of destruction…

Ophelia Monroe had no idea magic existed until a dying dragon bulldozed through her Texas school, and a haughty Fae prince stole her away to another realm. Suddenly, an unprecedented bond makes her Queen of the Fae in Charassi, a magical realm she never could have imagined.

But when Vie, an evil Fae, usurps her crown, Ophelia is temporarily stranded on Earth with Prince Corrin and a dragon named Shadow on the River. When they return, Charassi is a realm transformed. The people live in fear, and their allies are being targeted not only by Vie but by his and Corrin’s mother—the former queen, Emalda.

Retaking the throne won't be easy, especially with the dark power Emalda wields to Unmake soldiers—draining away their souls and leaving their bodies as puppets under her command.

To make herself even more powerful, Emalda steals the Bone Crown, an artifact that belongs to the rightful ruler of Charassi. With the crown, she's a nearly unbeatable foe. Ophelia and Corrin must get the artifact back and find a way to protect the palace and their people.

If they fail, all of the dragons and Fae of the realm will pay the ultimate price.

The battles begin

This book had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning till the end. From being stranded on earth, to watching friends be turned into Unmade. Ending with the Return of Emalda to power. This series is a MUST.

Love it, can't wait to go on with the story

I like this story for how it develops. It's about doing the right thing, respecting others and helping each other so that the mistakes of a few can be prevented. If you like a fantasy world where fairies, dragons, elves, elves and fairy tales are real, this book is for you too. Don't expect it to be a dragon knight story, because that's not an important part of the tale.
Once this story starts, it will be quite difficult to let go. The author is very skilled at maintaining suspense and making you want to read/listen further. The audiobook is done very well, the reader helps bring out the emotions and the feeling of being part of the story.

Narrator did a great job bringing this to life. characters are well developed, plot continues smoothly.... the unmaking is so viscerally wrong and my heart hurts for River...

the former queen, Emalda. steals the bone crown in the mist of Ophelia and Prince Corrin trying to prove that Ophelia is the true high queen and bring so kind of peace to Charassi.

Great Addition to the Series

This second installment of the series was well written and kept me hooked thanks to the entertaining characters. The narrator did a great job of breathing life into the characters and made this a fun listen.
