The Storm Awakened

Chronicles of Storm, Book One

De: N.M. Thorn

Narrado por: Steven Barnett

Sometimes, the greater good is best served by being a little… bad.

After spending some not-so-quality time in a white-collar prison, all Declan Storm wants is to have a few days of peace and solitude. Ideally, magic-free. But the moment he returns home, he realizes that rest is not in the foreseeable future.

A group of unhinged vampires took residence in Key West, unafraid to spill blood. And when Declan confronts them, he makes a shocking discovery that shakes him to the core. To add to his problems, his FBI handler notifies him that a priceless codex has been stolen, demanding his immediate assistance. Meanwhile, an unknown monster, wreaks havoc throughout South Florida, leaving a trail of dead witches in its wake. Fear and despair grip Key West’s magical community, and a supernatural hurricane is looming ominously on the horizon.

As Declan dives into the investigation, things spiral out of control fast. Before long, he finds himself lost in a labyrinth of ancient secrets and deceit. Cornered and desperate, he realizes that he has no choice but to face his dangerous past, trust a man who once betrayed him, and outsmart a vengeful ancient monster.

With his survival hanging by a thread and countless lives at stake, Declan must do the one thing he swore he’d never do.

But even if he does, it may not be enough…If you like fast-paced, action-packed Urban Fantasy novels with dynamic characters, intense action, and breathtaking suspense, then you'll love this edge-of-your-seat series, with a touch of Slavic mythology. Get your copy now!

Excellent urban mystery

Well written; solid characters & believable dialogue. It also doesn’t include porn (which most urban fantasy books do these days)!

Totally consuming, Unique and Exceptional

I read this before and loved it but listening to it was totally consuming. This is an extraordinary story. It was performed flawlessly. I enjoyed the whole series and am looking forward to future audio books from this author in this series and the Shadow Enforcer series.

Powerful

In the last few years, NM Thorn has become one of my go-to authors. Every time she releases a new book, it’s in my pocket a few hours later. Another NM Thorn devotee recently mentioned that she’s started releasing audiobooks and suggested I give them a try. She promised I wouldn’t regret it—and she was right. With a long car trip ahead, I decided, “Why not?” and downloaded the first book in The Chronicles of Storm based on my friend’s recommendation. It turned out to be a great suggestion, and I’ll be downloading the second book later today.

NM Thorn’s crisp writing, combined with the vocal talent of Steven Barnett, brought the story to life in a whole new way. It made Declan and Troy’s reunion even more emotional and the battle scenes more vivid. My favorite moment was the climactic scene when Declan fully embraces who he is. The pure artistry took my breath away—and not just because Declan is a child of air! 😄
