About this listen

A throne falls to voracious teeth. An ancient power lies buried beneath the streets. A reluctant heir flees into predator lands. Can he reclaim his crown and unleash the fire in his blood before his people are butchered and his world devoured? Asher has spent his life running from responsibility. But when tragedy strikes and the Rabbethi kingdom is threatened by a bloodthirsty horde, he discovers there’s nowhere left to run. With his people fractured and their survival uncertain, Asher must become the one thing he has always feared – king. The crown is heavy upon his head, and the fate of the world is in his paws. This reluctant hero must choose: become the leader his people need or let the world be swallowed in blood and shadow. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson’s epic fantasy world-building, John Gwynne’s brutal battles, and the anthropomorphic animal sagas of Brian Jacques.

This story follows Asher (🐰) on a quest to find an ancient relic entrusted to his people by the old gods, a relic meant to be protected at all costs. But he’s not the only one searching for it. Dark forces are rising, determined to seize it, overthrow his kingdom, and possibly the entire world. And even though Asher is a rabbit, he feels deeply human.

The story is dynamic and fast-paced but it never loses its emotional core. Along the way, Asher forms meaningful friendships and begins to discover his purpose in a world that suddenly feels far less safe than he once believed.

What makes this even more impressive is that it’s a debut novel, and you truly can’t tell! The writing feels confident and polished, and the worldbuilding is immersive without being overwhelming.

There are twists, there’s betrayal, and that cliffhanger definitely leaves you wondering what comes next.

If you love adventure, memorable characters, and heartfelt moments wrapped in an exciting fantasy journey, this one is absolutely worth a try.

The King’s Bow wasn’t what I expected, it was actually better 😁
