The only daughter of a beloved king and queen, Princess Lissar has grown up in the shadow of her parents' infinite adoration for each other - an infatuation so great that it could only be broken by the queen's unexpected passing. As Lissar reaches womanhood, it becomes clear to everyone in the kingdom that she has inherited her late mother's breathtaking beauty. But on the eve of her seventeenth birthday, Lissar's exquisite looks become a curse....

Betrayed and abused, Lissar is forced to flee her home to escape her father's madness. With her loyal dog Ash at her side, Lissar finds refuge in the mountains, where she has the chance to heal and start anew. As she unlocks a door to a world of magic, Lissar finds the key to her survival and begins an adventure beyond her wildest dreams.

Well done

This is one of my favorite books ever.. I was hesitant to get the audible book but am glad that I did.. The narrator was fine.... I can highly recommend this book

My favorite book of all time

I own two hard copies of this book and was excited to see that Audible had a recording. XE Sands did an amazing job telling the story. Such a page turner, even though I've read it countless times!!

Dark, and gut-wrenching, and beautiful

I am going to need time to reflect on this story. Beautiful, tragic, redeeming? Are these even the right words? All I can truly say is PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!

Magical

Xe Sands is my new favorite narrator! she did a perfect job of telling this story!! The story was lovely and haunting. I loved it, but wish for a bit more in the ending. Still totally enjoyed the experience!

This book is breathtaking

I cannot say enough for the beauty in this book. I felt that at first the narration was a little slow, but it only added to the quality of the book by the end. Masterfully written, and the feeling and emotions brought forth will stay with you long after the book as finished.
