Publisher's summary

Luma is a cobblestone druid, a canny fighter and spellcaster who can read the chaos of Magnimar's city streets like a scholar reads books. Together, she and her siblings in the powerful Derexhi family form one of the most infamous and effective mercenary companies in the city, solving problems for the city's wealthy elite. Yet despite being the oldest child, Luma gets little respect - perhaps due to her half-elven heritage. When a job gone wrong lands Luma in the fearsome prison called the Hells, it's only the start of Luma's problems. For a new web of bloody power politics is growing in Magnimar, and it may be that those Luma trusts most have become her deadliest enemies!

Slow to start

I enjoyed the book but it took about 12 chapters for it to get on the level of other pathfinder books I have listened to. There is a lot of character build up before the story really goes anywhere. it's overall good but it's a long wait.

great!

I really enjoyed the voice. the only time I had trouble was with the names but that happens to me when there are a lot of minor characters.

Excellent story in a fantasy setting I adore.

Enriches the lore or an established world. fun characters, unexpected turns, and satisfying to listen to. great job.

A new Pathfinder player approves!

I started playing Pathfinder 2e after the OGL Debacle. One of the best things about the system is the rich, well-developed lore. This book does a great job of conveying that, especially the Magnimar/Korvosa divide and the “not quite a country” aspect of Varisia.

I really couldn't get into the story

I really couldn't emerse myself in the story. I have not had this problem with any Pathfinder books until this one. Not sure if it was the narrator or the story.

Great Narration and exciting story

The first few chapters were a bit slow, but the story picked up after that and kept me hooked.
