Heart of the Crown

Heir to the Crown, Book 3

By: Paul J. Bennett

Narrated by: Greg Patmore

For as long as he can remember, Alric dreamed of being a hero; of defeating a dragon and saving the princess, but his royal position would never allow it, until...the arrival of the Mercerian Emissaries demands a princely escort, and being neither the heir nor the spare, he is the perfect choice.

Used to a lifetime of comfort and ease, he expects this duty to be as tiresome as all the others. His tranquil life is upended from the beginning, as havoc seems to follow these dignitaries everywhere, causing him all sorts of grief.

From fighting unknown creatures to defending the life of a royal, he discovers that becoming a hero is much more dangerous than he ever imagined. No matter what the outcome, his life will never be the same.

Heart of the Crown is audiobook three in the Heir to the Crown series. If you like dramatic fight scenes, compelling characters and a captivating story, then you will love Paul J Bennett's tale of a prince who desires greatness.

Now we're getting interesting!

Now the characters I've grown to love (and despise) are starting to flesh out. The world and its politics, magic, and history is starting to take shape. I'm excited to get into book 4!

As mentioned in my reviews of the first two books, this is an enjoyable story where the characters are not perfect and worth cheering for! The plot is strong enough to keep me wanting more. It's less action than many series that I've read. But it feels more real as a result. Thanks for an enjoyable read--this goes for all three of the initial books. I'm off to book 4 now. I hope vols. 5-10 will be released by the time I'm done... so... you have a week!

Exciting

The adventure continues this time in Westland, land of an old advisory. All is not smooth sailing on the diplomatic mission as the team are beset with many issues. The feeling of the story is that we are moving towards great events, what they will be we have to wait for the next book. Highly recommended.

New favorite in Lord of the Rings type

This series is nearly as engrossing as LOR but with more humor and not so dark. A LOR light in a sense.

Great tale!

The performance draws you in as you follow Princess Anna and her loyal friends and protectors. can't wait to hear it read the next in the series Paul J Bennett is skilled at wielding a tale that has a little bit of everything you would want in mystical fantasy tale. Bravo!

Gripping plots and interesting twists with great background throughout. Not boring.

Great and continuing plots within plots. Well narrated and very well written! Highly recommend the series.
