Sister of the Brotherhood

De: Ginny Patrick

Narrado por: Jade Lazlow

The fate of three kingdoms lies in the hands of one lonely young woman.

The Brotherhood of Power is dedicated to training those throughout the Twin Kingdoms who possess the rare ability to transform the very substance of physical matter. For centuries this power has been found only in boys - until a member of the Brotherhood visits a remote mountain village.

Orphaned as an infant, Arien instinctively learned to hide the abilities that marked her as different from everyone she's ever known. The discovery of others who share her gift offers her a hope she never dreamed possible. Could she find a home among those who are like her? But her hopes are dashed when she arrives at the Hall of the Brotherhood. The inflexible men who lead the powerful and formidable institution will never accept a girl. Once again, Arien is a peculiarity, an oddity who doesn't fit in.

When a smuggler arrives at the king's palace with a covert message, Arien is called upon to use her power to save the Twin Kingdoms from attack by a hostile empire. Her assignment will put her deepest desire within reach. But she must choose between her longing for acceptance and her duty to the king. Between the family she craves and the people she has come to love.

Ginny Patrick is the pen name for Virginia Smith, award-winning author of nearly 40 novels. Though she loves to write fiction in all forms, with Sister of the Brotherhood Ginny returns to her first literary love - epic fantasy. Ginny and her husband live in her home state of Kentucky.

Great story!

I really enjoyed this book! I've liked everything that I've read by Virginia Smith in the past, but I tended to stay away from her fantasy books because that's not a genre I typically like. However, this book has caused me to expand my horizons and I'm going to check out some more fantasy. The story is very complex, and fascinating. The characters are well developed and the storyline is hard to put down. I sure hope she creates a sequel to this book.

Epic Fantasy

I can honestly say I have not been a big fan of epic fantasy genre books, that is until I started this one. Ginny Patrick has a certain way of creating a story that captures the listeners attention almost from opening narration and keeps them locked in to the very end. Jade Lazlow could not have done a better job as narrator. Ms. Patrick's knack for making her characters very detailed leads the plot to have loads of moving parts but the story that it creates is a joy to listen to. This was my first audio-book by Ginny Patrick but it will not be my last.

Narrator was great.

The story was good. Would have been better if it hadn't jumped around without background information.
