The Shiver Tree

De: Holly Searcy

Narrado por: Teralyn Davis

In this sweeping fantasy adventure worthy of the bards, a band of heroes must rise up to face an ancient enemy that threatens to throw their world into chaos.

For millennia the land of Amarra was guarded by five Druid Orders: Jade, Ice, Spirit, Sky, and Sun. But the clans splintered long ago, and without their protection, Amarra is struggling in the face of blighted crops, monstrous aberrations, and pitiless pirate raids.

Looking toward a future as High Druid, Kiana Paletine is certain that if the Orders were reestablished, peace and plenty would follow—but tensions are running high. Tired of the politics and eager to finally make a difference, Kiana sets out to enlist the help of her estranged sister, Ravaini.

Soon a series of visions begins to haunt her, and Kiana learns of an ancient druidic artifact called the Shiver Seed. This powerful relic has fallen into the hands of the malevolent Deep Ones, who seek to use the Seed for their own nefarious purposes. If Kiana can find the lost Ice Druids, she may be able to retake the Seed and save the clans—but if the druids fall to the Deep Ones, all of Amarra will be in danger.

Very enjoyable

This was a really fantastic book! The deeper you go the more you fall in love with the characters. I also appreciate this genre of book having a female lead character and voice, which is often missing. Looking forward to the series continuing.

Amazing!

Devoured this book, both physical and audio! Loved getting to know all the characters, the world, those that would destroy it all, and ultimately the small group of heroes standing in their way! So looking forward to more!!

Can't wait for more!

Sometimes you just come across one of those stories that is simply too much fun. I found this to be such an enjoyable read I had to get the audio book, and I have not been disappointed!
The voice over work is stellar, and it lends an already wonderful adventure just that more life as the characters come into their own with the great acting work. My biggest gripe is now that I've finished the book I have the long wait for the next one. 11/10, would happily recommend to any and all that want to get lost in another world.

Great narrator, intriguing story!

The narrator is one of the best I’ve run across. She’s got actual male voices that you can tell apart and actually brings the story to life with her skill. Absolutely will be seeking out more of her work.

The story is fun and reminiscent of the older Drangonlance type stuff (also inspired by a DnD campaign). This is classic epic fantasy with intriguing characters, interesting magic, and a handful of pretty serious threats for a group of adventurers to address.
