About this listen
The astonishing first volume in Raymond E. Feist’s bestselling Serpentwar series…
Ancient powers are readying themselves for a devastating confrontation, and a dark queen has raised a standard, gathering armies of unmatched might.
A band of desperate men are forced into this battleground of good and evil, and their only hope for survival is to face this ancient power and discover its true nature. Their quest is at best dangerous and at worst suicidal.
Among them are some unlikely heroes: Erik, a bastard heir denied his birthright; his friend Roo, an irrepressible scoundrel with a penchant for thievery; and the mysterious Miranda, upon whom all must wager their lives. She appears to be an ally but also possesses a hidden agenda and may prove to be a more deadly foe when the final confrontation is at hand…
Shadow of a Dark Queen is the first book in the Serpentwar Saga. The quartet continues with the second book, Rise of a Merchant Prince.

Another masterpiece, both writer and reader!
Magician was the first book I read, that I could not put down. I skipped school to read it, aged 15yrs old. Now, over 30 years later, I still am entranced by Feist’s story telling. Shadow of a Dark Queen is yet another adventure unfolding on every page. Masterful and captivating narration by Peter Joyce

Raymond Feist magic fantasy
I really enjoyed the depth of the story and imagination. Pleasure to listen to while working and relaxing. So used to reading fantasy books while I usually listen to audible thrillers such as David Baldacci great collection.

Amazeballs... Triumph
Peter Joyce, R.E.F and Audible, such a beautiful partnership. Diverse, artistic and well thought out.

Amazing author, Amazing narrator
I have been a fan of Feist for 20 years since I by chance bought the first book Magician at an airport bookstore when I was 15. Best fantasy universe out there with amazing scope and character development. Peter Joyce has an amazingly talent for characterization in his narration and is a master of choosing the correct tone for the character selected. Amazing work mates.

story was good but it fizzled
The first book in the Serpentwar Saga- A band of desperate men are forced into this battleground of good and evil, and their only hope for survival is to face this ancient power and discover its true nature. Their quest is at best dangerous and at worst suicidal. Good start with strong characters but it ran out of steam a bit. Love Feist's stories though and continued with the saga.

Good Reading and Listening Experience
I prefer to read a hardback copy or softcover. In this case the Harper Voyager Softcover had larger print than the Harper Collins Hardcover, though I was able to read both comfortably. I listened on Audible while I was driving and generally on the move while doing chores etc. I used the ipad when I am by myself around the house and the iPhone with earphones (plugs) while on the bus, shopping or walking etc. Sometimes I found the voice on audible a little harsh but okay overall. I read a lot faster then the Audible narration. The story was a little slow in places but good overall. I had to listen a lot to the Audible narration this time which is a different experience.
