The Raven Queen: The Ending Legacy, Book 1 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 72 ratings

An uncrowned queen. A rebel on the run. A legacy of lies.

The Corvo Kingdom is on the brink of ruin. The wasting sickness is spreading, the queen is dying, and the people are living under the constant threat of invasion. The fate of the realm rests on the shoulders of a woman reluctant to embrace her destiny.

Princess Delphinia is a prisoner of privilege, haunted by the ghosts of her past. She has spent ten years shielding her son from her consort’s cruelty and her kingdom from her father-in-law’s army–inheriting a crumbling kingdom is the last thing she needs. But to keep her son safe, she will have to sacrifice what little freedom she has left.

Finlay Cartwright has been hunted his entire life. When enemy soldiers venture too close to his people’s hidden settlement on the outskirts of the Seven Kingdoms, Fin embarks on a journey to unearth the nefarious schemes of kings and queens threatening all they have left. The last thing he expects is to follow the trail to Corvo City, a place he swore he’d never return, or to rekindle an old, forbidden flame along the way.

The Raven Queen is the first book in the fantasy romance series, The Ending Legacy, set in a kingdom built atop our own ruined civilization. If you like unique fantasy worlds and magic systems, court intrigue, second-chance romances, and stories that are equal parts harrowing and heartening, then you’ll love this epic adventure.

Fantastic first installment in a new dystopian fantasy series.
4 out of 5 stars
Fantastic first installment in a new dystopian fantasy series.
THE RAVEN QUEEN has everything I look for in post-apocalyptic fantasy — a dystopian world, immersive and unique world-building, characters you can’t help but root for (and some you hope die a slow death), and a delightful slow-burn romance. In addition to all of the above, this particular book also included rival kingdoms, rebels, and lots of political intrigue. ⁣⁣The story hooked me from the start, where we’re introduced to the super interesting world which is ours, but different. Our current technology and way of life is considered very outdated by their standards and it was interesting drawing comparisons between the two worlds. In this world, theres an equally interesting magic system and the characters have some really unique abilities. ⁣⁣The story is very dark at times, with the threat of death from a mysterious illness always lurking in the background. I really liked the characters and their particular roles that they play in trying to save this crumbling world, despite the fact that there really isn’t much worth saving. The world is brutal and bleak, but the characters and their resiliency offer a bit of hope along the way. Also, I loved the romance between Del and Fin and their second-chance romance. ⁣⁣All told, a unique and immersive first installment in The Ending Legacy. I’ve heard that this is a spin-off of another series and I’ll definitely be picking up the original series to get more of this fantastic world. 4 stars. ⁣

    And I don't want it too. I wasn't expecting this to carry over into another book, but I'm excited that it is. I don't think it's available yet, but when I find it, I will continue this journey. This story of The Ending hasn't ended yet. The patrons are all dead, but Jake, who's a healer and nearly immortal at about 300 years old. Now, a new virus, of sorts, threatens the Corvo Kingdom and is spreading beyond. The wasting sickness. Jake must help the Corvo Queen and Fin, the Ghost King find Becca's prophecies recorded by Zoe at the original settlement to prevent the death of young Prince Liam. This is a journey, for sure. The story is intricate and detailed with many twists and turns. I was glad Del and Fin were reunited and that she had indeed bore him a son from their one night together before she had to return to her kingdom and her duties as the Corvo Princess. Now her mother is dead and she has had to flee her Coronation to stay alive and to keep her son safe and to search the prophecies for a cure that will save her son and return her to her rightful place as Queen and Savior to,her people.

    I love how the authors were able to build on a post-apocalyptic science fiction series they previously wrote and have this feel more like a fantasy fiction story. It’s exciting to see how these two main characters have grown since the prequel. I loved the adventure and romance and even how they worked through heartbreak. Nice work, ladies! I’m looking forward to the next one!

    This book is filled with so much adventure, action and suspense it will have you on the edge of your seat and not able to put it down. So many great characters. The story is so believable that you laugh and cry when they do. I recommend reading.

    I wouldn’t call this a romance; at least not enough to be a subtitle. Sure there’s romance and you’ll be rooting for Del and Fin from chapter 1, but it’s more than that. This is a book of loyalty, adventure, friendship, prophecies, deep loss, and that ‘watch out, that mama will rip your head off if you even considering looking at her baby wrong’ kind of love.

    The Corvo Kingdom hangs in the balance. The wasting sickness is no longer contained to the inbred elite but has spread to the masses. The old queen is dead, the Princess's consort is dead, and there is no one left as a barrier to invasion. Del isn't sure she is worthy to be queen but she will do anything to protect her son. When Fin, her true love returns to her life he's no longer the reckless boy of her youth but a strong ruler in his own right. The two are strangers now but their hearts and bodies remember. They have a common cause and a common enemy; a world to save and a boy to love and protect. And, of course, a prophecy to fulfill.

    The world is far removed from the Turn and their ancestors long gone. Yet the influence of the Patrons still holds and Jake still walks the earth. This spin-off of my favorite dystopian series After the Ending is full of adventure, intrigue, danger, mystery, and a touch of romance. The world-building is tremendous and the characters are compelling. I love the phrase "a prisoner of privilege" to describe Del. I can't imagine a more fitting description. She's more burdened and less impulsive than she was five years ago. Duty and fear for her son and kingdom weigh heavy on her. Fin is also less impulsive. He's a mature, caring, capable leader now, responsible for those who have already lost too much. Liam is a sweetie. A true innocent full of life and love. And Jake is heartbreaking. It sounds wrong to wish death on someone but he has more than earned it. I want him reunited with his Zoe and back with Dani, Jason, and Becca. His existence has to be crushingly painful and lonely despite his present-day ties. The way these characters' lives are interwoven with the past is fascinating and their current story is gripping, and with the ending, it's only going to become more so. I desperately want to fast-forward. I need answers. I have so many wishes for these characters. Just like their ancestors, their journey has captivated me.
