• By: Bethany Atazadeh
• Narrated by: Merphy Napier

Arie eagerly looked forward to becoming the queen of her small kingdom. Even when the jinni’s gift arrives before her 18th birthday, she fights to hide the possibility of being banned.

But when a neighboring king tries to draw her into marriage and rob her kingdom, discovery is imminent. Just one mistake could cost her the throne. And her life.

A jinni hunter and his band of thieves are the only things that can help her get this gift. And she has to get rid of it before it gets exposed. Or die trying.

The Stolen Kingdom is a loose retelling of “Aladdin”. Set in a world where humans share with elusive mermaids, dragons, and jinni, this is not the fairy tale you remember!

Can’t wait for the rest of the series to be heard. I’m a donkey driver so I love listening to this on the road. I also watch Bethany on YouTube. She is wonderful.

I absolutely love the world Bethany Atazadeh has created! As I listened, I felt immersed in the culture of her kingdoms, the rules of her world, and the voices of the characters in it! The tempo makes me just want to listen for a few more minutes. I’m interested in what happens next for each character and enjoy the development of their relationships that weave into the plot. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book! Enjoyed Murphy Napier’s narration! You did a great job of distinguishing the voices of the characters without making it sound cartoonish and detracting from the story. I totally recommend The Stolen Kingdom to fantasy genre lovers!

I am pleased with the progression of this story in each chapter. I always want to know more and really enjoy getting to know these characters as the adventure gets more interesting! into the next book in the series! I am definitely a loyal fan! Great text! Would recommend and gift to others!
