    About this audiobook

    Cassie knows she was made for more than a life buried away in her uncle's remote forest estate. Eager to meet the great spymaster, Aurora, she jumps at the chance to travel to her distant kingdom. But meeting Aurora isn't enough - Cassie wants to prove her worth. So, when she's presented with an opportunity to gather intelligence, she acts. When her plans go awry, Cassie finds herself living on the streets in a distant city. But, despite the failure that brought her here, Cassie can't afford to give up. Kingdom-shaking danger is brewing in these lands, and she may be the only one who can save the Four Kingdoms. Cassie won't let anything stand in her way - not the biting heat of the desert, not the distracting way her heart responds to the mysterious, attractive stranger who insists on staying close, not the layers of secrets hiding beneath the surface of her new home. In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Aladdin, a girl from the streets must navigate treasure caves, palaces, and a magic lamp if she wants to rescue herself and save four kingdoms as well. If you enjoy clean romance, adventure, and intrigue, then try the books in the Return to the Four Kingdoms series now! These interconnected fairy tale retellings each feature a different heroine who finds herself friendless in a strange land and who must fight to save her new home and win her happily ever after.

    Melanie Cellier

    Melanie Cellier grew up on a staple diet of books, books and more books. And although she got older, she never stopped loving children's and young adult novels. She always wanted to write one herself, but it took three careers and three different continents before she actually managed it. She now feels incredibly fortunate to spend her time writing from her home in Adelaide, Australia where she keeps an eye out for koalas in her backyard. Her staple diet hasn't changed much, although she's added choc mint Rooibos tea and Chicken Crimpies to the list. She writes young adult fantasy including her Spoken Mage series, and her Four Kingdoms and Beyond the Four Kingdoms series which are made up of linked stand-alone fairy tale retellings. Visit Melanie at her website: http: //www.melaniecellier.com or follow her on Facebook: https: //www.facebook.com/Melanie-Cellier-689002674569364/ for all the latest news on her books.

      Engaging, Wholesome Characters, & Fantastic Morals. I cannot stop listening to your audio books. Your style of writing makes me feel like I know your characters. Until I read your books I'm not quite sure I ever laughed out loud while reading. I love how your novels teach young women and men the ways of real life. Things may not always be easy and sometimes downright messy, but if you keep your head up and keep going you will reach the light at the end of the dark tunnel!
