In kingdoms at war, alliances are made to be broken in a thrilling novel of magic and dark conspiracies by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Warrior’s Ransom.

Ransom Barton and his wife, Claire de Murrow, have arrived in Legault to reclaim the title that was Claire’s birthright. Claire intends to rebuild a war-ravaged palace to its former glory and to teach Ransom about the magical history of their new home. But when Ransom is summoned to return to King Benedict, his loyalty to Claire is tested. Fealty prevails, however questionable the king’s motives.

The ambitious Benedict, who controls his late father’s dominion, must prove his might. The warriors of the East Kingdoms have disrupted the trade routes, weakening every kingdom in their path. Benedict’s plan is to fend off a coming war through strategic alliances. But it’s Ransom’s post to keep the king’s allies—as well as his poisonous enemies—in line, even as Benedict’s defense may be inviting further chaos.

As the king’s power grows and Ransom’s rise in the council is secured, a shadowy conspiracy threatens to destroy everything Ransom has worked to build. Now torn between allegiance to the woman he loves and duty to king and country, which will Ransom choose?

Reviews for Lady's Ransom

[kiaya40 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Okay I can’t breathe after that ending and I’m freaking out - where’s the next book - I need it nowww…Ahhhh! I would have rated this higher than 5 stars if I could have!

This part of the series was a bit different than the others with the relationship/marriage between Ransom and Claire being more heavily focused on, but it was still quite a rollercoaster ride much like real life can be at times. There were all sorts of twists and turns and a few surprises that kept me turning pages and listening late into the night. This was full of so much good stuff and I can’t wait to read the next book and find out how it ends although that will be a bit sad too.

Also, I have to say, Kate Rudd is an awesome narrator and does amazing with the audio of this book as well as any books she’s narrated. She’s one of my favorite narrators and does a great job bringing Jeff Wheeler’s characters and so much of the story and the world to life.

If you haven’t read Jeff Wheeler, you’re missing out and need to get on that and check it out. Also if you’re an audiophile, you need to listen to Kate Rudd narrate his stories as well!
