The Accidental Queen (Midlife Fairy Tale)

Start anywhere in The Accidental Queen (Midlife Fairy Tale) by Kristen Painter. Filed under Science Fiction & Fantasy. Speed and chapter jumps sit above the description.

Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is about to get the promotion she’s always dreamed of–curator of the museum where she works. She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in. The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one. And as it turns out…she is.

That is the whole offer: the full recording, a chapter index, and a player that does not ask you to sign up.
