Queen's Griffon

Swords & Tiaras #2

by Eve Langlais

To save her kingdom, an exiled queen must locate five mysterious stones.

Queen Avera Voxspira has been kidnapped by pirates, putting her quest to counter an evil entity in peril. If only Captain Griffon would listen. However, he refuses to help and instead brings her to Saarpira, the isle of pirates, while he waits to see who will pay the biggest ransom.

Avera does everything in her power to escape,only to find herself a prisoner of someone even worse. The only bright spot is her new captor wants her to complete her dangerous mission which entails visiting the dead continent of Verlora. The country, known for its science and innovation, suffered a catastrophe decades ago and remains perilous to those who dare brave its shores. However, Avera has no choice. She must navigate the danger and find the stolen stones that act as seals to keep the powerful Zhos trapped.


One by one, her captors fall as they weave their way through the destroyed city of Sitnalta. But surviving that journey is only the beginning of her troubles. Unexpected revelations have her questioning everything she’s been told—and what she must do.

As Avera untangles the mysterious threads of the past, she must make a choice, one that might have dire consequences for the future.

It will take all her wits to survive because she doubts the charming—and insufferable—pirate captain will find her in time.

I should warn you, I have a twisted imagination and a sarcastic sense of humor something I like to let loose in my writing.

3 stars.

Avera is kidnapped by a pirate king Griffon and also discovered she's the daughter of his father's best friend. Griffon's homeland had been decimated by a dragon a couple of decades ago and their people have never been able to return home.

However, in order to save her own country, Avera has to recover some artefacts stolen by her father that are believed to still be in his homeland. These artefacts are supposed to be able to help stop the dark magic that's been slowly spreading throughout the world.

I thought the romance between Avera and Griffon could have been stronger, but I guess we'll get more in the last book.

All sorts of things come to light in this installment! Non-stop mystery, with some solved, and others still to be figured out; Action with all sorts of creatures, human and otherwise; A chapter closed, but so many options for where things will go next, cannot wait for the conclusion!!!
