De: Lynn Kurland

Narrado por: Laura Jennings

Neroche is under assault by a magic that has stripped its king of his powers and unleashed nightmarish creatures in a war of evil in which Morgan of Melksham is fighting for her life. Recovering from a near-fatal attack, Morgan realizes that she must decide between two fates: that of being a simple shieldmaiden or accepting her heritage as an elven princess. If only she could ignore that she was the daughter of the perilous black mage of Ceangail....

Duty bound to aid his king, Miach of Neroche is torn between what his responsibilities demand and what his heart desires. He is willing to risk his life to rescue Morgan from the darkness that haunts her, but he must do so at the peril of his realm. Forced to choose between love and the burden of his mantle, Miach sets out on his most deadly quest ever.

Great story and narration on point

Intriguing story that keeps you wanting to keep listening . The narrator does a great job at making the characters stand out which makes it better to listen to.

Good, sort of..

The reader's voice is too whispery, which makes it difficult to hear at low volumes. The way she reads Morgan depicts her as weak and whiney. The same lines read well would show a strong warrior complaining of an unexpected weakness. Think of K. Hepburn in her movies. The proper names...I thought "sean..." would give us "shawn..." Sean Connery? Seanagarra? Oh, well.

Great story poor narration

I have to agree with the other reviews. I have always loved these stories and I thought I would love then in audiobooks as well. The narrator makes no distinction between Morgan and Morghain. She over does the pronunciations of all the names but does nothing with the main character's name. Some of the lines don't make sense because of this.
She makes a very strong character sound weak because of her timid voice and she leaves out the humor in other characters. I laughed out loud when I read about the King but hearing about him didn't even get a smile.
Overall a really great story and very poor narration.

Smashing book! Narrater best ever!

The first book in this trilogy was just as good. Lynn used the same narrater for all three books and she is marvelous. I recommend this trilogy to people who love romantic fantasy without the totally unnecessary graphic sex . Another slam dunk Lynn! Thank you!

Love the story... wish all were available

This was a great read... loved the story. I listen to all types of books but it's nice to read a good, clean story! Can't wait for the next one to be available on Audible!
