Twin Crowns

Written by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber

Narrated by Ann Marie Gideon and Ell Potter

A high-stakes fantasy rom-com about twin princesses separated at birth—one raised as the crown princess, and the other taken as an infant and raised to kidnap her sister, steal the crown, and avenge the parents' murders—the first novel in a new YA duology from bestselling UK authors Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber. Perfect for fans of The Selection, My Lady Jane, and Caraval.

Wren Greenrock has always known that one day she’d steal her sister’s place on the throne. Trained from birth to return to the palace and avenge her parents’ murder, she’ll do anything to become queen and protect the community of witches who raised her. Or she would, if only a certain guard wasn’t quite so distractingly attractive, and if her reckless magic would stop causing trouble. . . .

Princess Rose Valhart knows that with power comes responsibility—and she won’t let a small matter like waking up in the desert with an extremely impertinent (and very handsome) kidnapper get in the way of her duty. But life outside the palace is wilder and more beautiful than she ever imagined, and the witches she has long feared might turn out to be the family she never had.

But as coronation day looms and each sister strives to claim her birthright, an old enemy becomes increasingly determined that neither will succeed. Who will ultimately rise to power and wear the crown?

[Megan · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great story and wonderful narration! The voices performed by both narrators were impressive and after listening to this twice, it continues to hold up. Their performance truly brought this story to life. The world building was carefully crafted and is accessible for all readers, not just fans of high fantasy! There is plenty of action and dual love stories. I'm eager to start the next book!

Great narrator and very entertaining story. The main characters were strong, the romance was there but not overly cringe and the pacing was great! Definitely had me at the edge of my seat waiting for what happens next.

Take sisters separated at birth under traumatic circumstances, only one knows of the other, The unaware one is ostensibly the princess, soon to be crowned queen on her eighteenth birthday, but there are events in the offing that will turn both sisters' lives upside down as they learn about each other, what their powers are, and how they've been betrayed. All of this is rolled into a fast-paced and perfectly written story that begs for a sequel. It's a dandy tale.
