Publisher's summary

The king is dead - and with him, the last thread holding the kingdom together.

Deep cracks are forming throughout the kingdom of Nri with whispers of deadly successors lurking beneath the shadows. Despite having the same face, it seems the deepest crack is forming between Naala and Sinai, the reunited twin goddesses, who must put their differences aside as they travel through a broken Nri.

Unbeknownst to the girls, their use of the mystical Ṇdu crystal has awakened mythical beasts and the lost gods, each returning to Nri one by one. One thing is clear, the twins will have to face enemies at every corner of the kingdom...one of whom lies hidden amongst those they hold dearest.

As ongoing turmoil spreads throughout the kingdom, the daughters of Nri must unmask the true face of their enemy, as they discover that their unique blood has marked them with magic strong enough to restore true peace to the world - a task only they can complete.

But with beasts lurking far and wide, will they be able to do so before the kingdom succumbs to its looming curse?

SUCH AN AMAZING SERIESSS

I am obsessed with these books. Reni Amayo is an amazing author and Weruche Opia did a remarkable job at narrating. The story is captivating and pleasurably engulfs my Tim

great listen

I loved these stories they're very Captivating and I can't wait for the next one to come out!

this was absolutely wonderful and beautiful!!!

this Narrortaor is an incredible storyteller! This story has so many layers and it was extremely engaging! Beautiful sequel!

Very enjoyable!

Other reviews mention the heavy accent, though the narrator does certainly have an accent I didn’t find it distracting at all, definitely helped bc it matches the setting/characters of the book.

If you feel lost at times (I did) it might be because you didn’t listen to the first book first - I totally didn’t realize this was the second book, whoops! I’m realizing now that the gaps I felt are actually just me missing details from the first book ((facepalm)).

I very much enjoyed it even with the gaps. Love that the characters/story are not all whitewashed, need more of this in fantasy writing!

Incredible

This story had me engrossed from the beginning. The plot was exceptionally woven and I was biting my nails to see what would happen. The is a praise worthy sequel. To the author this has to, at the least, be a trilogy!! I am ready for the next book please. I can see this as a movie!!

Distraction Overwhelming

As I've mentioned in previous reviews, the authors storyline is the most interesting that I've read in some time. I'm already looking forward to the next installment and I've recommended this book to others.
However, in this production from Audiobook, you can clearly hear the narrator swallowing. This is unnerving and so disturbing, that it was a struggle to listen to the story. I'm not sure what equipment was used, but it was a clear difference from previous recordings. I still highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in African folklore or just enjoys a great story of adventure.

Excellent Story!

I loved this! Contrary to what others might say I had no problem with the vocal performance of the narrator. The story was fantastic. I listened to it while working and had no problem following the plot. I’d recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy

I love this series!

The imagery is very engaging. The characters are well thought out and relateable. I can't wait to read the third book.
