About this listen

A young queen in peril.

A city under siege.

An elven mercenary with a dark desire.

Nineteen-year-old Eris Telari was never supposed to rule Brucia. She’s always been more interested in swordplay than courtly intrigue. After her brother’s assassination, however, Eris has no choice but to take up the crown and defend her city against an invasion led by an undefeated elven warlord. With Brucia’s forces decimated, and a siege looming, Eris needs help. Who better to repel the elven invaders than a band of elven mercenaries? Their leader, Ruith, is as charming as he is deadly, and used to getting what he wants. Six thousand swords strong, his Crows have a reputation for winning against impossible odds. He won’t take a fight he can’t win, and now he has his sights set on Eris….

Is it her kingdom he wants? Or her?

With assassins and traitors still lurking around every corner, and an army nearly twenty thousand strong at her gates, Eris cannot afford to turn away the Crows’ assistance. Even with their help, the battle for Brucia will be hard-won. And the most dangerous threat may already be inside her walls and vying for a place at her side….

A Court of Crows is the first book in the gripping Talons and Tethers saga, a new adult fantasy romance series. Expect courtly intrigue, assassination plots, plenty of heart-pounding action sequences, and strong heroines who do their own rescuing.

This series contains four separate slow-burn romances that unfold over several books. Ruith and his Crow commanders have varying and diverse tastes when it comes to romance, but all of them enjoy plenty of spice, so grab your copy and prepare to meet your next book boyfriend(s)!

Voice Acting
Ruthie Bowles, outstanding pacing and the very believeable ability to voice a rich range of characters in this story(have them interact). Made this story more than come alive.
You will feel.
Trust me its an engaging experience. From tiredness of battle, friendships and in each sensual banter chemistry ridden moment. I will keep close eye on Ruthie's next work.

Book by Eliza Eveland - I loved everything.
Eris is ardent, selfless & strength. But she was the spare not originally the Heir. Then everything changes.

This is harsh uncaring world and for this young royal, full of expections from the nobles to old fashion court protocols  and their racism of the Elves race.

High stakes life or death pressuring  her nation as evasion looms.

Author has written Eris as a Warrior Queen FMC deserves - Realistically & more than woman wearing her heart on her sleeve. She's got Sh$t to do!


Eris has backbone & stands powerful together or alone fueled by a sense of self and belief in whats right.

As Eris' world is so dangerous and short lived she never considered anything beyond fighting until ...Ruith (His Elven sexiness).

Eris below the surface of royal strictures and protocols and hell of fighting hand to hand combat. Starts to lose the chill and become a little warmer and vulnerable.

Great Flirty banter, Ruith Cocky AF & Eris cooly controlled their is great chemistry borne through mutual respect.

In a society where signaling a relationship or lack of acceptence i.e between Human & Elf or even two Men dancing together current culture can get in the way  of that relationship. If you understand this, you then understand the writers restraint  to show how this looks and feels as a reality in book 1. In someways theres a hidden message that vanilla has too many rules to abide to.

Crucial World Building
supported with variety if relatable characters voiced by a very clever voice actor Ruthie Bowles emoting the ink like she lived all these lives voiced or went to the places described.

btw
all of the Crow commanders are equally good book boyfriends.
Other relationships
# Isaac and Katyr look promising .
# Mercia and Aryn look tricky couple.
# Leduin (he seems very PolyA ) &M ??and Rixxis (shes hot as too)

Seriously this is my Jam! loved it!
excuse any spelling & grammar as typed out on my phone commuting on bus.
