When the King owns your words, who will own your heart?Manipulated by a vicious King, Jeremiah is stripped of his identity and forced into a life of silent submission as a Whisperer. Allowed only to speak at the command of the King, one thousand Whisperers must line up in rows and chant their sadistic ruler’s darkest desires. As each evil wish comes true, the King’s power over his impoverished … comes true, the King’s power over his impoverished kingdom grows.
When Jeremiah’s fears for the family he left behind are confirmed, he turns in desperation to the most unlikely person for help—the King’s eldest daughter. But is Princess Rose as kind as she is beautiful, or will she lure him into a trap?
To save those dearest to him, Jeremiah has no choice but to put his trust in Rose, whose own life is threatened as her father prepares to clear the path to the throne for his newborn son. Together they embark on a bold plan to overthrow the King and set the Whisperers free.
As love blossoms in this most unlikely place, Jeremiah and Rose must discover how to use the power of the spoken word to conquer more than just the kingdom. They will need to conquer their hearts.

OH MY GOSH, THIS BOOK! This is obviously my kind of book, and I knew that going in. What I didn’t know was just how incredible The Whispers of Evernow was going to be. Heidi Catherine is very talented when it comes to creating an intricate and rich world. I could easily see the locations and the themes of power, corruption, romance, and betrayal were very obvious. With action, romance, adventure, and politics, The Whispers of Evernow is everything a fantasy lover wants in a novel!
The characters are very intriguing and well written. I could easily distinguish each character and I loved the multiple points of views. I felt like I knew each character (some, I wish I didn’t know!), and I loved every minute of it.
I can’t find anything negative to say about this novel. I am so looking forward to reading more from this author and continuing in this series. This is definitely going in my favorites of 2019!! Check this one out!
*I read this book as part of a blog tour with Rachel’s Random Resources. All opinions are my own.*
Brilliant first book in this fantasy series. Wonderful characters that are easy to identify with, and a fast-paced exciting plot. Read this in 2 sittings (would have been one if I could have let the family feed themselves!)
Can’t wait for the second book to be released!
Loved the imagination, world-building and characterisation of this first in the series fantasy and look forward to the next.
The set up for this book is quite spectacular – an intricate and details-rich world ruled by an evil King who has discovered he can assemble an army to whisper his darkest desires. However, while some may use this power for good, the King does not, and the people of the kingdom are suffering as a result. With little care of anyone but himself (including his daughters), we quickly see how too much power corrupts. We follow the story through multiple-perspectives – one of the whisperers in the King’s army, the sister he left behind, the King himself, the Princess and others, which adds to the rich and detailed narrative of power, corruption, words, romance and betrayal. The characters are intriguing and strong, the world finely-drawn and the writing style is beautiful and lyrical, but there’s still plenty of action, romance, adventure and political struggle to keep the pages turning. The book moves along at an enjoyable pace and could easily be enjoyed by a young adult market as well as anyone who loves high fantasy like Game of Thrones or the Narnia books.
A fantastic read. In this fantasy read. Jeremiah is forced into submission by the king,. Rose the kings Daughter is forced to find a way to get her and her sisters out. Will they be able to get free of a king that rules everything. This is a fantastic read that the Author creates that pulls you in right from the start. Thats a real page turner, it gas you on the edge of your seat. There are lots of twists and turns. Before you now it your finished with the book. This is definitely a must read. The scenes are written so well you can vividly see them in your mind as you read.
