She recognises right from wrong, and tries to do the right thing when confronted with the reality of what she’s uncovered begins to become clear.
Keralie is a wonderful main character – she’s strong and determined, but she has a past and she’s trying to make up for it. I love how each of the four queens represents a nation that is different to the next – from an agricultural society, to the arts, technology driven and commerce driven towns, each is unique and contributes to Quadara as a whole. Quasar is a fully-fleshed out place, that blends science-fiction and fantasy elements beautifully. Told in alternating POVs, switching (initially) from Keralie to each of the queens we get to learn about Quadara, it’s politics and the relationships all of these characters have with one another in quick succession. She has to find new allies and unravel the mystery she’s uncovered. Set in the queendom of Quadara, four queens rule together, representing the four nations within the kingdom, until they are each systematically murdered within the palace walls, leaving the fate of the queendom in uncertainty.Īt the same time, street thief, Keralie, is charged with stealing a package from an unknown messenger, and unwittingly involves herself in the murders. It’s a fast-paced read that includes murder, thieves and double-crossing in almost constant rotation. But when dark secrets threaten their reluctant partnership and put everything at stake, Keralie and Varin must use all their daring to stay alive and untangle the mysteries behind the nation’s four dead queens.Īn enthralling fast-paced murder mystery where competing agendas collide with deadly consequences, Four Dead Queens heralds the arrival of an exciting new YA talent.įour Dead Queens is the sci-fi/fantasy-mystery debut from #loveozya author, Astrid Schotte. With no other choices and on the run from her former employer, Keralie teams up with Varin Bollt, the Eonist messenger she stole from, and together they race to discover who has killed the queens. Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington is one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves, but when she steals an unexpectedly valuable package from a messenger she is soon entangled in a conspiracy that leads to all four of Quadara’s queens being murdered.
