Title: Four dead queens
Author: Astrid Scholte
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release date: February 26th 2019
Summary:
A divided nation.
Four Queens. A ruthless pickpocket. A noble messenger. And the murders that
unite them.
Get in quick, get out quicker.
These are the words Keralie Corrington lives by
as the preeminent dipper in the Concord, the central area uniting the four
quadrants of Quadara. She steals under the guidance of her mentor Mackiel, who
runs a black market selling their bounty to buyers desperate for what they can’t
get in their own quarter. For in the nation of Quadara, each quarter is
strictly divided from the other. Four queens rule together, one from each
region:
Toria: the intellectual quarter that values
education and ambition
Ludia: the pleasure quarter that values
celebration, passion, and entertainment
Archia: the agricultural quarter that values
simplicity and nature
Eonia: the futurist quarter that values
technology, stoicism and harmonious community
When Keralie intercepts a comm disk coming from
the House of Concord, what seems like a standard job goes horribly wrong. Upon
watching the comm disks, Keralie sees all four queens murdered in four brutal
ways. Hoping that discovering the intended recipient will reveal the culprit –
information that is bound to be valuable bartering material with the palace –
Keralie teams up with Varin Bollt, the Eonist messenger she stole from, to
complete Varin’s original job and see where it takes them.
Why I’m excited:
I really like books surrounding thieves haha. It sounds as if this book takes some typical YA stories and mashes them together. I’m interested in how that will would out to be! But to be honest I think I will wait for some reviews to decide if I will really like it!
