Publisher's Summary

Two women on either side of the Silver-Red divide tell the stories no one else knows.

Queen Song

Queen Coriane, first wife of King Tiberias, keeps a secret diary - how else can she ensure that no one at the palace will use her thoughts against her? Coriane recounts her heady courtship with the crown prince; the birth of a new prince, Cal; and the potentially deadly challenges that lie ahead for her in royal life.

Steel Scars

Diana Farley was raised to be strong, but being tasked with planting the seeds of rebellion in Norta is a tougher job than expected. As she travels the land recruiting black-market traders, smugglers, and extremists for her first attempt at an attack on the capital, she stumbles upon a connection that may prove to be the key to the entire operation - Mare Barrow.

This audio edition also features an extract from the new Red Queen novel, Glass Sword.

Unnecessary to read if u read finally book broken throne

This book was a great book although it is unnecessary to read if u intend to read the finale book in the red queen series. Please don’t do what I did and read all 5 books in the series and think this is going to go into more detail about Corian And Diana stories in the broken throne novel because it does not. They are the exact same.

Essential for Red Queen fans.

I loved these stories. Both stories would require some background so it is best they are read after reading at least the second book in the series. But both are very enjoyable journeys.


The stand out by far is the first. The story of Queen Coriane Jacos (Cal's mother). Moving and heartbreaking. Beautifully read by the Narrator. Haunting. Just haunting!
