Crown of Earth and Sky

Secrets of the Faerie Crown, Book 1

By: Emberly Ash

Narrated by: Lilly Drake, Xander Marceaux

What do I want? A quick death. Barring that, I only dream of one thing—revenge.

Veyka Pendragon was crowned queen in a farce fit for any circus. Now, as her traitorous court plots around her, the new Queen of the Elemental Fae must take revenge on the humans who betrayed her while also guarding a dangerous secret.

The arrival of her betrothed, the storied Brutal Prince, is merely another cog in the wheels of time and space spinning around her.

Arran Earthborn is the strongest terrestrial fae in millennia. If Veyka wishes to keep the peace her ancestors fought and died for, she must join with him soon.

But the Brutal Prince has not earned his name by playing nice. The torture he exacts will enrage and enflame her—and endanger a secret that would rip their world to shreds.

The days are slipping by. Very soon I will have to choose between the crown that destroyed my life but protects my kingdom… Or settling the scores that haunt my every step.

Crown of Earth and Sky is a twisted mythology retelling of the Arthur legend. It is a high-steam fantasy romance with dark elements.

Such a shame..

This book should have been right up my alley: a fae fantasy romance, Arthurian mythos, political intrigue and court machinations, plenty of spice.. but alas, the structure was odd and stilted, the characters impossible to relate to, even the authors word choice made certain scenes awkward and unappealing. The characters motivations often felt opaque and some scenes were flat out confusing, like the author expected you to read between lines that weren’t there or just had a poor grasp of metaphorical writing. It’s such a shame because the narrators were phenomenal and it really could have been something, but it just didn’t build the foundation it should have for what the story was trying to be.
