WOOING THE WITCH QUEEN Queens of Villainy, Book 1

Amanda Leigh Cobb delights listeners with the first in the Queens of Villainy series, which is perfect for those who like their romantasy on the lighter side. A case of mistaken identity has Archduke Felix serving as librarian and wizard for the wicked witch, Queen Saskia. The empire thinks Felix is a tyrant bent on conquering all. In reality, he is kept under the thumb of his former regent. Before he can request sanctuary from Queen Saskia, he learns she wants him dead. Ultimately, they both uncover the unexpected. Cobb breathes life into the eclectic cast of characters, who range from vicious, inhuman monsters to humans and witches. She gives them the voices their personalities deserve. She also entertains as she captures the humor liberally sprinkled throughout the story. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2025]
