The Revenant Queen

The History of Goranin, Book 2

By: M. J. Padgett

Narrated by: Emma Baumann

When Eiagan Allurigard sacrificed herself to save her people, the kingdom of Goranin was supposed to prosper, but now dark forces threaten to wipe the kingdom from the map permanently. New Queen Emora continued her sister’s fight for freedom, but at what cost? The once amiable princess has become a tyrant worse than Eiagan ever was, and the rebels are run out of The Banished Lands, forced to make a new life on the Rynkald Islands where they work to build a new army - one that can turn the tide against their once beloved rebel leader. However, things are not what they seem in the ravaged land of Goranin.

Immortals with dirty hands and hardened hearts and those who prey on the weak wait to strike, ready to take all the land for themselves. What was once a battle to save Goranin becomes a struggle to save every kingdom from the clutches of evil. Chaos abounds as our band of rebel fighters struggle to stay alive and reclaim their homeland.

The Revenant Queen is packed with adventure, unbelievable monsters, deep roots and layers of intrigue, and the strength of a family forged in pain and grief.

Fascinating Fantasy

I enjoyed book 2, "The Revenant Queen" even better than book 1. This story had fewer flashbacks. There was plenty of action. The characters continued to change and develop. There were unusual and fantastic creatures. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Emma Baumann's narration was fine and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

MY QUEEN

A UNIQUE STORY, FILLED WITH ADVENTURE AND MYSTERY. NARRATION WAS GREAT!
I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE!

A great addition to the History of Goranin series!

M. J. Padgett writes another great book in the History of Goranin series. Book 2 is even better in my opinion as we see not only the main character develop more but also those around her. The overall world continues to develop and the pace stays great for this series. I look forward to book 3! Audio Version: The narration switched to Emma Baumann and it took a few chapters to get used to the new voices but she still does a good job with the narration and overall character voices.

ACCEPTABLE FOR TEENS AND UP.

NARRATOR WAS GREA AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Fantastic

I really enjoyed book one, but book two might be better? There’s a lot of development that happens in this story, while still keeping the story flowing. I enjoyed having a fantasy without the graphic sex scenes like we see in so many stories.
