Still the Sun

De: Charlie N. Holmberg

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

An ancient machine holds the secrets of a distant world’s past for two intimate strangers in the latest romantic fantasy adventure by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg.

Pell is an engineer and digger by trade—unearthing and repairing the fascinating artifacts left behind by the mysterious Ancients who once inhabited the sunbaked planet of Tampere. She’ll do anything to help the people of her village survive and to better understand the secrets of what came before.

Heartwood and Moseus are keepers of a forbidding tower near the village of Emgarden. Inside are the remnants of complex machines the likes of which Pell has never seen. Considering her affinity for Ancient tech, the keepers know Pell is their only hope of putting the pieces of these metal puzzles together and getting them running. The tower’s other riddle is Heartwood himself. He is an enigma, distant yet protective, to whom Pell is inexplicably drawn.

Pell’s restoration of this broken behemoth soon brings disturbing visions—and the discovery that her relationship to it could finally reveal the origins of the tower's strange keepers and the unfathomable reason the truth has been hidden from her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Natalie Naudus narrates this fantasy-romance.… As Pell tells her story, Naudus communicates her enthusiasm and curiosity for all things mechanical. The listener can almost see her mind turning as she studies gears to see how they work. She is strangely drawn to Heartwood, one of the keepers. Naudus uses an accent for one keeper, but for Heartwood she employs a more subtle and mysterious voice.” —AudioFile Magazine

“This is a fascinating new direction for Holmberg.” —Publishers Weekly

Great story

I did not want to put it down! I was sad when I finished the book because I wanted more!

Incredibly Storytelling

I couldn't put this book down. Mystery, action, & a sprinkle of romance - no to mention world building at its finest.

Beautiful story

Loved the love story, loved that everyone is so much more mature in this book, and really loved the plot. I got a little bored when they went on and on about how the machine works and every little gear, but outside of that I loved the story. I realize that some people will really love that addition, but just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Such a crazy mixed up story!

It was easy to get confused a couple of times but I trusted Charlie to give me a great story and she didn't disappoint. The romance was sweet and the ending satisfying 😌

It took me a while to catch on…

When I did it was eye opening. Very interesting and I loved it. The story pulled me in trying to figure out what was going on.
