The Queen's Secret

De: Jessica Day George

Narrado por: Helen Keeley

Bloomsbury presents The Queen's Secret by Jessica Day George, read by Helen Keeley.

Bestselling author Jessica Day George continues her heartfelt fantasy series about a girl who can communicate with horses and a kingdom on the brink of collapse.

Anthea knows the truth about horses. They’re not carriers of deadly disease like everyone in their kingdom thinks; they’re majestic creatures who share their thoughts and feelings with her through The Way. Anthea has convinced the king of this, but at a cost—he demands that horses and riders with The Way do his bidding.

But when a deadly plague breaks out, the people believe that horses are the cause. As more fall ill, it's up to Anthea and her friends to transport medicine, all while keeping out of reach from Anthea's wicked mother. And when Anthea discovers a secret that could change the kingdom forever, she must risk everything to reveal the truth before it's too late.

Continuing the sweeping storytelling of The Rose Legacy, bestselling author Jessica Day George delights readers—especially horse lovers—once again.©2019 Jessica Day George (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reseñas de la Crítica

George charges right into the story, and the pacing doesn't let up for one instant . . . Fans of war stories, or anyone who wishes they can talk to animals, will want to get their hands on this.

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.

Lovely and engaging, this fantasy series continues to have wide appeal.

Fans of the series will eagerly devour this latest installment.

A sweet, funny, sincere story in which siblings work together.

Castle Glower is the true star of this charming story of court intrigue and magic. A satisfying mix of Hogwarts and Howl’s Moving Castle.

This enjoyable romp turns mischief into political action and a stone palace into a cunning character. . . . These kids are clever, as is George's adventure. May pique castle envy.

Well-timed story

This middle story does not lose much of the intensity of the opening novel, but to be honest the whole series is more about relationships. And the books are short, short enough to be one novel. The timing of publication could not have been better even if Bloomsbury had planned our own pandemic. If Anthea does get an extension on her book contract, I hope she calms down (I've finished book 3) because I am not sure I can take much more. Keeley voices everyone quite well, but her presentation of Anthea's constant distress is annoying.

Love the book

This book was action packed and kept me wanting to keep reading/listening.
Perfect for horse or just animal lovers.
Would definitely recommend.
And the narrator is great too.

I loved this book I am about to read the rider’s reign and I think that there should be a fourth one the one thing I don’t understand is why would anthea’s mom spread the sickness?
