De: Sylvia Mercedes

Narrado por: Emily Lawrence

A huntress with no past. A rival with a secret. A kingdom's fate hangs in the balance...

Ayleth and her shade move as one, ever hungry for the hunt. Under her mentor's tight control, she fears her memories are being stolen. Now 19, apprenticed for as long as she can remember to the mysterious Holy Order, she longs to rise in the ranks and banish untamed spirits for the prophesied Golden Prince.

When shadowy threats descend on the crown, Ayleth seizes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove her worth in open competition. Seeking to win the prince's favor and escape her scheming mentor, she resolves to hold her own against Terryn, a handsome, arrogant opponent who may be more than a match for her untested powers.

But as the two rivals follow a trail beyond the Great Barrier and confront legendary evil, the stolen secrets of Ayleth's past may return to haunt her...

Can Ayleth win the trial and reclaim her true self? Can she even survive her first day?

Entertaining story, despite meh narration

Really enjoyed listening to the story. There's a lot of potential with this series as there's some great world building. My only qualm was with the narration itself, as some of the voices and characters left more to be wanted. Regardless, I would recommend this series!

awesome

it reminds me of legends of the seeker
totally awesome. magic and mystery. not predictable.

Loved this Intro to Series

Great intro to the series.

A captivating magical adventure filled with self-sacrifice and the beginnings of a slow-burn romance filled with lots of banter. Realization that working together is better than being alone.

Great narration

great start to a new series!

I think this was an awesome first book with great world building and characters. highly recommend!

Disappointing

The story has an intriguing beginning but didn't deliver. In the first book it didn't draw the connection to the beginning. The narrator was very annoying.
