About this listen
Four dead queens. Three days to catch a killer. Two forbidden romances. One shocking twist you won’t see coming.
Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but she’s, in fact, one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. He runs afoul of Keralie when she steals a package from him, putting his life in danger. When Varin attempts to retrieve the package, he and Keralie both find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead.
With no other choices and on the run from Keralie’s former employer, the two decide to join forces, endeavoring to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives in the process. When their reluctant partnership blooms into a tenuous romance, they must overcome their own dark secrets in hopes of a future together that seemed impossible just days before. But first they have to stay alive and untangle the secrets behind the nation’s four dead queens.
An enthralling fast-paced mystery where competing agendas collide with deadly consequences, Four Dead Queens heralds the arrival of an exciting new YA talent.

Brilliant, keeps you guessing
This is the perfect book for fantasy fans who also enjoy a mystery. Every time I thought I had everything worked out, the author would throw you in a completely new direction.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I will definitely be on the look out for more from Astrid Scholte.
This was my first audio book so unsure whether I just need to get used to it but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the performances. The tone didn’t always seem to match the narrative, which made it a little distracting but overall was clear and each character did have their own “voice” which did come through.
