The audiobook edition of One True King: Legends from Qiledara, Book 3 by Amy Daniels has been honored with the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, recognizing its outstanding achievement in storytelling, world-building, and immersive audio production. This accolade highlights the novel’s powerful narrative and its ambitious full-cast audiobook adaptation, which brings the world of Qiledara to life.
One True King plunges listeners into tenebrous days for the kingdom of Qiledara. With King Aaron missing after departing on a perilous quest, his absence sends shockwaves through the realm. His companions struggle with uncertainty, enemies seize opportunities for their own gain, and a growing threat looms beyond the Amber River. As loyalties are tested and darkness spreads, the fate of the kingdom rests on who will remain steadfast and who will rise to deliver justice.
The Literary Titan review praised the book as “a fantastic addition to the genre and an already compelling series,” noting that Aaron’s disappearance becomes the emotional heartbeat of the story. The review highlights Daniels’s ability to craft relatable characters whose internal struggles mirror the kingdom’s political and moral turmoil, portraying leadership as a burden shaped by sacrifice, responsibility, and growth. The richly detailed world-building, especially in the depiction of Penelope’s family home and the raw power of magical weapons, creates an immersive experience filled with tension and wonder.
The award also recognizes the audiobook’s exceptional production quality. Featuring an ensemble cast of more than twenty voice actors, the audiobook is led by narrator Garan Patrick, whose performance anchors the story with warmth and reassurance. Phillip Nathaniel Freeman delivers chilling portrayals of dragonkin and key antagonists, while a diverse cast brings heroes, villains, royalty, soldiers, and citizens to life. Literary Titan commended the audiobook for feeling like a full-scale performance rather than a simple narration, adding depth and intimacy that places listeners directly alongside the characters in every pivotal moment.
One True King: Legends from Qiledara, Book 3 is available now in audiobook and print formats. Readers and listeners can purchase the book on Amazon, and experience the award-winning epic fantasy that critics are calling immersive, emotionally rich, and unforgettable.
In a recent author interview, Amy Daniels shared that Aaron’s disappearance was designed as a destabilizing event to challenge every character in the series, from loyal allies to bitter enemies. She also described the audiobook production as a deeply rewarding creative process, praising the cast for adding new layers of complexity and emotional resonance to the story. Daniels has confirmed that work is underway on Book 4, with a planned release in 2026, promising unresolved mysteries, deeper explorations of magic, and major surprises still to come.
