About this listen

A gripping and unforgettable fantasy adventure – the incredible sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller QUEEN OF FACES

A MASK HIDES A LIE. A LIE SPARKS A WAR.

A WAR AWAKENS A DARKNESS.

Anabelle Gage has emerged from the ashes of Paragon Academy having done the impossible – stealing the body of infamous dark mage Khaiovhe. As Caimor and Shenten race towards war, Ana will risk everything to save her loved ones caught in the crossfire. Her friend Korin has been imprisoned by a vicious Shenti warlord and only has days to live. To save him from execution, Ana and her allies must brave rising seas and withstand enemies on all sides.

Across the ocean, Nell Ebbridge is reunited with her father, Caimor’s ruthless king, and finds herself torn between her duty and her feelings for Ana. As she draws closer to dark truths, Nell must decide who she is willing to become – and who she is willing to sacrifice.

Krakens prowl the seas and ancient horrors stir beneath the waves. As armies clash and loyalties fracture, Ana and Nell are set on a devastating collision course – with unforgettable consequences.

Critic Reviews

Praise for Queen of Faces:

‘An original and epic fantasy world with magic that feels entirely real’ Juno Dawson, author of Her Majesty’s Royal Coven

‘Petra Lord’s brilliantly imagined world is at once deadly and enchanting, her characters vivid and true. If you want to be surprised, gripped, moved and wildly entertained – this book is for you’ Antonia Hodgson, author of The Raven Scholar

‘Hugely ambitious, wholly riveting’ Guardian

‘Unputdownable and utterly unique’ Katherine Webber, author of Twin Crowns

‘Delivered everything I’ve ever wanted from an epic fantasy world and so much more: high stakes adventure, a fascinating magic system, twists, turns and layered political scheming – and a cast of characters who hold my entire heart in their hands’ Bea Fitzgerald, author of Girl, Goddess, Queen

‘The ruthless, remarkable world you’ve been waiting for’ Chloe Gong, author of These Violent Delights

‘Sweeps you into a world of magic, corruption, and gender-expansive chaos – totally gripping and overflowing with delicious angst’ Alice Oseman, author of Heartstopper
