Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished--and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making. Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past--and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.

Editorial Reviews

Falling Kingdoms will gut you emotionally. It will make you ache, cry, and beg for the sequel as you turn the last page. I absolutely loved it.” Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Queen
“Narrator Fred Berman quickly draws the listener into a complex world of rival kingdoms, secrets, conspiracies, and murder, a world not unlike that in Game of Thrones…The enhanced varied accents Berman uses for the kingdom’s many citizens ensure smooth transitions between the alternating viewpoints. Berman is especially gifted at conveying emotional intent: Jonas’ barely controlled anger hissed between gritted teeth, Magnus’ clipped tones of contempt and disgust at his father’s greed, and Princess Cleo’s fierce determination to save her sister. The strong performance will resonate with fans of epic fantasy.” AudioFile
