Protect the Prince

A Crown of Shards Novel, Book 2

De: Jennifer Estep

Narrado por: Lauren Fortgang

Magic, murder, adventure, and romance combine in this second novel in the exciting Crown of Shards saga from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Jennifer Estep.

Everleigh Blair might be the new gladiator queen of Bellona, but her problems are far from over.

First, Evie has to deal with a court full of arrogant, demanding nobles, all of whom want to get their greedy hands on her crown. As if that wasn’t bad enough, an assassin tries to kill Evie in her own throne room.

Despite the dangers, Evie goes ahead with a scheduled trip to the neighboring kingdom of Andvari in order to secure a desperately needed alliance. But complicating matters is the stubborn Andvarian king who wants to punish Evie for the deaths of his countrymen during the Seven Spire massacre.

Dark forces are also at work inside the Andvarian palace, and Evie soon realizes no one is safe. Worse, her immunity to magic starts acting in strange, unexpected ways, which makes Evie wonder whether she is truly strong enough to be a winter queen.

Evie’s magic, life, and crown aren’t the only things in danger - so is her heart, thanks to Lucas Sullivan, the Andvarian king’s bastard son and Evie’s...well, Evie isn’t quite sure what Sullivan is to her.

Only one thing is certain - protecting a prince might be even harder than killing a queen....

Perfection!!!

A masterpiece.
I loved the writing, the narrating and the EPIC story! Cant wait for the sequel.

Excellent

An excellent sequel with wonderfully developed strong female characters and a gripping plot that keeps you reading.

love this book

this is a great buy, I love the story and love the narrator. I'm a big fan of audio books and am very picky with who narrates, you will not be disappointed in this book!!

LOVE

This was such a riveting book to listen to it had you on the edge of your seat ins rooting for the star crossed lovers to find a way to end up together. I can’t wait for the next book!

Excellent Book Two!!!!

I love it when a pre-order delivers!!!

I listened to the first book in this series and happily pre-ordered the second book. I did not want the story to end. This book was almost as good as the first!!

The erstwhile queen and her brood are officially in the Seven Spier castle/kingdom and things just keep happening, heavy is the crown and all that. This story was so friggin good!!!!!

The narration was exceptional! It's easy to set aside good narration when you have a good story but don't make the mistake with this listen. As good as this book is (and it is most excellent!) the narration and the narrator is on point. There was drama and tension and humor and royals and royalty and they all got the supreme treatment. Every feeling and every emotion from every character and every scene was delivered to perfection!!

Book three is not yet available but I will be first in line when it's ready!

Good Story

The narrator did a great job. I didn't like this book as much as book 1 as some parts of the story moved a bit slow for me. I did enjoy the ending as it made me very happy. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Fun, exciting book

Loved it, great continuation of the story line. Can't wait until the next book in this series comes out.

An epic tale

definitely a great story to listen to and I hope I get more in this series... I want to see the final clash and how it all ends...

I want Evie to protect me

I loved this book and anything else Jennifer writes.
Jennifer Estep is a true mastermind in keeping you on your toes.

How hard can it be to protect a prince?

REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Kelly
NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4 3/4
Protect the Prince picks up shortly after the end of Kill the Queen with Queen Everleigh Blair becoming the Queen Bellona. Becoming Queen has not been fun so far but it is what Evie had expected. The next step in Evie’s journey is to make amends with the Andvari people. Once in Andvari Evie must face off with a whole new set of problems from the Andvari Royals, a King that asks too much, an assassin who doesn’t know when to give up, and a trader who wants to take everything.

Protect the Prince is the second book in Jennifer Estep’s Crown of Shards series and this second book was just as good as the first. There were times while listening that I was not sure my heart would survive the journey. I truly love this series and can not wait for the third and final chapter in The Crown of Shards series.

Once again I let the talented Lauren Fortgang read this book to me. Lauren did a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life for me. I look forward to listening to the next book in this series too.
