Of Ice and Shadows Audiobook (Free)

The long-awaited sequel to the acclaimed YA fantasy Of Fireplace and Superstars! Mare and Denna travel to a fresh and dangerous kingdom where Denna will learn to tame her magic by a mystical queen who is not all she appears. Perfect for followers of Malinda Lo and Kristin Cashore.

Princesses Denna and Mare are in like and together in last-only to handle a new group of dangers.

Mare just really wants to relax with the lady she loves, which will be easier if Denna weren’t gifted with forbidden and volatile open fire about Of Glaciers and Shadows magic. Denna must figure out how to control her capabilities, which means touring in secret to the kingdom of Zumorda, where she can look for training without concern with persecution. Determined to greatly help, Mare has agreed to serve as an ambassador like a cover because of their journey.

But just as Mare and Denna get to Zumorda, an strike on a boundary city in Mynaria changes everything. Mare’s diplomatic objective is now immediate: she must quickly broker an alliance with the queen of Zumorda to protect her homeland. However, the queen does not have any desire for allying with other kingdoms; it’s Denna’s untamed but powerful magic that catches her eye. The queen offers Denna a place among her top notch trainees-an opportunity that could force her to choose between her magic and Mare.

As Denna’s power grow stronger, Mare struggles to be the ambassador her kingdom needs. By making unconventional friends, her understanding of Zumorda and its people grow, and so too do her suspicions about who’s truly behind the episodes on Zumorda and her homeland.

As rising tensions and unexpected betrayals put Mare and Denna in jeopardy and dangerous foes emerge on all sides, may they protect their like and conserve their kingdoms?
