Trials and Command Audiobook [CHAPTER 2]

The queen’s offer was simple: fetch a tinderbox, and she’ll tell Keenan where his missing companions are. Refuse, and he might not find them in time. Lost in a foreign kingdom and trapped in her castle, Keenan agrees – if only to get away from her. He doesn’t know why a queen would want an old tinderbox. He’s furious that he has no choice. And he’s less than pleased when her pampered daughter catches up to him in the wilderness. Princess Sakura only has a few months before an unfortunate prophecy costs her the throne – it says she’ll marry a commoner, but the law requires a titled husband to inherit. Her mother swears the tinderbox will solve the problem…but only if Keenan actually retrieves it. Sakura doesn’t want to manipulate him, but a man in love will face any danger. She doesn’t know how to woo a man she can’t marry, especially when he doesn’t trust her or her scheming mother. But as the quest unfolds, Sakura sees the man who would sacrifice anything to protect the innocent. Who has helped her more than any of her nobles have. Keenan’s starting to see the woman beyond the crown, but the closer they get to the tinderbox, the more he realizes it may be too powerful to trust to another. Even if keeping it will cost him his friends – and destroy any chance he and Sakura have of being together. I don't have plans to release the full audiobook on YouTube at this time, but you can find it (or read) here: http://books.erinhalbmaier.com/trials...
