Shalia is a proud daughter of the desert, but after years of war with the adjoining kingdom, her people are desperate to end the violence. Willing to trade her freedom for peace, Shalia becomes Queen of the Bone Lands, a country where magic is outlawed and the Elementae-those that can control earth, air, fire, and water-are traitors subject to torture...or worse. Before she is even crowned, Shalia discovers that she can bend the earth to her will. Trapped between her husband's irrational hatred of the Elementae and a dangerous rebellion led by her own brother, Shalia's only chance to survive is to harness her power and make an impossible choice: save her family, save the Elementae, or save herself.

      Narrator Soneela Nankani creates appropriate voices for the characters in this audiobook: a lilting tone for Shalia, a strong protagonist who sacrifices herself by marrying Calix, the King of the Bone Lands, in order to win peace for her people, and rougher, dark-edged voices for her husband and the men who rebel against him. In this complex fantasy for older teens, Nankani depicts Shalia's emotional and physical abuse at the hands of her husband and how she learns to control the power she has over earth, knowing his violence against her people is rooted in his hatred of magic. Nankani's depiction of Calix as increasingly violent, duplicitous, and falsely contrite makes for a satisfying contrast to the portrayal of Shalia and her growing feelings for Calix's brother, Galen.
