MORTAL QUEENS The Fae Dynasty, Book 1

Ellen Quay narrates a new series, The Fae Dynasty, which begins with Thea's story. Each year a new queen is chosen from the mortals and is whisked off to the fae realm. Thea learns quickly that mortal queens never go back home; in fact, they seem to vanish. She is determined not to let that happen to her. At first, Quay portrays Thea as naïve; even though her life hasn't been easy, she still wants to trust everyone. Gradually, Quay applies an overlay of wariness to Thea's persona, but she doesn't lose her fascination with the trappings of being queen. Quay conveys Thea's pleasure at each new gown but also projects her determination to survive her reign. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2024]
