A Woman of Whispers

De: Cary Caffrey, Agatha Anders

Narrado por: Wendy Wolfson

Every whisper hides a secret. Every secret has a price.

They call her Little Wolf—half Skarrowyn, half human. The mercenary who never misses. The girl who whispers death. But when she wakes in the mud with her memories stolen, even her name feels like a stranger's.

When she's hired to steal a dangerous witch from a crumbling tower, Wolf doesn't hesitate. Because Wolf doesn't believe in witches, or blight, or magic. Only silver and blood, and a contract done.

But when the witch turns out to be nothing but a girl, tortured and burned, Wolf starts to wonder—about a truth she’s denied too long, a lie she hides from herself, and a love she never thought she’d share.

Now Wolf must choose: deliver a witch to a monster, or break every oath she's sworn to save a girl who might be the only person to see her as more than a blade.

A choice that could lead to her ruin—or shatter every lie she's carried too long.

Good start to the series

I was provided an Audible code via the author, all opinions are my own.

The narration was fantastic! There are alot of characters and the narrator did a wonderful job with accents and differentiation between all of the various characters.

This follows Little Wolf, a sort of halfling who is part Skarrowyn which is a kind of water people and part human. She is a mercenary and travels with a group of mercenaries. We meet her after she wakes up not remembering who she is or anything about her past. As she regains her wits she slowly beings to regain her memories especially as she reunites with her crew.

Wolf has some interesting relationship dynamics within her crew, which only get more complicated as new characters are introduced. Wolf is not a fan of feeling her own emotions, and frequently uses sex as a distraction whenever those pesky feelings creep up. That being said, she is eventually forced to face her fears and feelings and shows good emotional growth within herself and her relationships as the story develops. There is good action and world building as the crew takes on a job that involves a witch. Wolf doesn't believe in witches or magic, only her abilities and the silver delivered when a job is done. As they complete the job she learns that sometimes things you can't see actually exist.

Overall this was a good setup for the series.
