About this audiobook
Long ago, Queen Mirantha vanished. King Karolje claimed she was assassinated by a neighboring ruler, but her people knew the truth: the king had Disappeared her himself.
Now the queen’s disappearance is hardly a memory—merely one among many horrors the king’s reign has wrought. But when Anza, a young student impassioned by her father’s unjust execution, finds the missing queen’s diary, she is inspired by Mirantha’s words—joins the resistance group to overthrow the king.
Prince Esvar is the second son to an evil king. Trapped under his thumb and desperate for a way out, a chance meeting with Anza gives him the opportunity to join the resistance. Together, they might have the leverage to move against the king—but if they fail, their deaths could mean a total loss of freedom for generations to follow. In this dangerous game of court politics, one misstep could lead to a fate worse than death.
Set in a world where resistance is as dangerous as it is important, The Vanished Queen is a “big, dark, intricate novel” (Lousia Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches) about the courage and sacrifice it requires to take on a tyrant.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I always read series and was actually in the middle of one and needed a change of pace! I very happy that I chose TVQ! I enjoyed it completely. If I were a writer, I’d give a more in depth and hopefully a more eloquent review. I am not however. Just a 58 year old woman who loves a book!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good story. Pacing felt a little off, but I tend to feel that way about books from multiple viewpoints. I also liked the person who read Anza. The person who read Esvar was difficult for me to stay engaged with. I think he was too theatrical. Overall, it was a decent read.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The storyline was decent, but Im sorry to say that I had such a hard time listening to the reader for Esvar.. it was very distracting.
