For fans of Cassandra Clare and Holly Black comes a new story that will lure you into a world of magic and monsters, and never let you go.

The trees in Hartwood Forest are hiding an ancient secret, a door into a magical realm where fairy princes and monsters are one and the same. Seventeen-year-old Aria is bored of her small town and dreams of a life filled with excitement and adventure. She’s about to learn the meaning of “be careful what you wish for”. After a chilling encounter at the local summer fair, Aria is ripped from her normal life and dragged through the Veil into the Fair Realm by a strange, silver-eyed boy and his band of fairy soldiers. They believe she is the legendary Fair Queen, the subject of a prophecy that promises to unite the war-ravaged realm and bring an end to the centuries-long conflict between the Five Kingdoms.

But it can’t be true. Can it?

Beset by terrifying creatures at every turn and hunted by a tyrannical king who will stop at nothing to prevent the prophecy from coming true, Aria will have to rely on her wits if she’s to escape the Fair Realm with her life.

Book One in The Fair Chronicles, a new young adult fantasy series for fans of The Mortal Instruments and The Folk of the Air.

This was a very interesting story-arc of new beginnings and revelations. I enjoyed the mythology and storyline the narrator was excellent and realky brings the story to life. I look forward to continuing the series!

Great world-building and characters.

I listened to the audio of this book and enjoyed my commute this week as I was transported to the land of the Fair, where a human girl discovers she isn't as human as she believed. The reluctant hero, this young woman, is actually the daughter of the king and her kingdom needs her to step into her royal line. The quest to this throne is fraught with obstacles both within and external. An easy and enjoyable read.

Enjoyable fantasy

Be careful what you wish for — especially if Fair folk might be lurking. Aria didn't want to be stuck in her little town forever, but a trip to the realm of the Fair folk wasn't what she expected.

This was my favorite kind of story, and all the elements were woven together perfectly. Some magic, fast-paced action, emerging abilities, a vague prophecy, new world building, and a strong female character. Aria had a lot thrown at her, but she never became a damsel in distress.

I had my suspicions about Xander from the beginning — always suspect those too good to be true types! — but even then, I was still surprised at the number of twists and turns through the story, especially toward the end.

Olivia Barnes-Brett did an amazing job bringing Aria to life.

A fun frolic of a story.

This story has amazing details in developing the characters and world. It immediately pulls you in and keeps you guessing throughout the book. I really enjoyed the fresh ideas and plots regarding the fairy element. It doesn't end on a cliffhanger but definitely leaves you wanting to know what's next.

The narration is clear and easy to understand. I had no problems distinguishing which character was speaking at any time.

**I received a free copy from the narrator in exchange for an honest review. I listened through the first time as I would any audiobook and then went back through and made notes of likes\dislikes in order to give truthful feedback and review**

'The Fair Queen' is such an addictive story that I struggled to put down the entire time I was reading it! Aria's struggle between who and what she should trust as well as her struggle to find out who she is never failed to keep me on the edge of my seat, and I could never really tell what was coming next, making for one of the most exciting reads I've picked up.

I thought this was a great start to the series. It did take me a few chapters to get into it but once I did I was hooked. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one. I thought the narrators voice fit this book perfectly! I can’t wait to hear more!

Great Start!

This is a good fairy book to read. The human who thought was human is not what she thinks. She is a princess but didn't know until the gnomes kidnapped her. Her half-brother is trying to kidnap her, so she doesn't meet her real father. The relationship between the gnomes and the princess is entertaining.
The author did great in writing this story. There were times of chuckles and head shacking. The narrator did great with making it even better.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
