Publisher's summary

A queen at war.

A love woven by the gods.

The looming shadow of darkness to come.

Britain, AD 38, When destiny crowns Cartimandua queen of the Brigantes, she inherits not just the rule of her ancient tribe but an imminent war. Seeking to take advantage of the upheaval amongst the Brigantes, the Parisii tribe strikes.

Cartimandua’s enemies soon discover the new Brigantes queen wears a crown of thorns and talons. Carti has no time to waste on petty squabbles. The Cailleach whispers of a looming threat from the south. Wielding ruthless strategy and strength, Cartimandua acts quickly to secure her hold on the north before an even worse darkness descends.

But even amongst the shadows, there’s a ray of light. Her new alliance with the Votadini tribe finds her engaged to the enigmatic Prince Cormag. Their bond offers a glimmer of hope for a bright future. Yet, as they carve out a life together, Carti cannot escape the echo of an old love.

To navigate the darkness looming on the horizon, Cartimandua must hold onto her throne and her heart with an iron grip. Can she protect her tribe and family from the rising storm?

From New York Times bestselling author Melanie Karsak comes The Crow Queen, depicting the life of Celtic Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes during the second Roman invasion.

Love Story BUT its too SHORT

I have read and enjoy majority of Melanie's books Celtic Rebels series, Celtic Blood series and now this series Eagles and Crows. My issue is that prior novels and other novels I buy & listen to typically range in length +/-20 hours of listening. Both of these books are 8 or 9 hours each. So have to buy 2 "books" to get one typical book. More like one book was written and broken into pieces for more $$$. Just getting into the story and its over!

Phenomenal!!

Now, the rightful Queen of the Brigantes, Cartimandua, begins her reign by going to war. The Crow Queen is absolutely amazing! Melanie's writing is vivid, full of rich detail, and emotion. You get drawn in and don't want to let go. This book deserves so much more than 5 stars!!
I love Carti. She has nerves of steel and a brilliant mind. I can't wait to see where the rest of her story leads us!
The audio narration is phenomenal, and I can't imagine anyone other than Lesley Parkin reading this story!
Highly recommended!!
