Story
The histories of Old Earth record that in the Year of Our Lord 778, Charlemagne’s rearguard, under the command of Count Roland of the Breton March, was ambushed and slain to a man. But Roland and his men were drawn through a magical gate, to a new and strange world of magic and deadly creatures. A world where every man, no matter what his estate or rank, no matter how poor or common or rich and influential, was born with the power of magic.

There’s only one rule in the world I come from. Keep our existence a secret. Period. The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences. I expected us to be sent to one of those schools for “troubled” kids - and maybe Daizlei Academy was, in a way. But really, it was far more complicated than that. You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day...we weren’t. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one.

A gritty and thrilling fantasy!
Child of the Ghosts by Jonathan Moeller is a gritty and thrilling fantasy that pits an ancient evil against a young aristocratic woman who loses her family as a child. After being tortured at the hands of a powerful sorcerer, Caina Amalas joins the legendary spies and assassins group known as the Ghosts. Over the course of the next several years, Caina learns the art of disguise, secrets of stealth, and how to be assassination, all of which helps her defeat her arch-nemesis.
What I enjoyed most about this story - it didn’t sugarcoat the cruelty of war. It also didn’t throw in salacious details just for sex’s sake. Everything in the story demonstrated the slow maturation of the main character and her development into a force to be reckoned with.
Hollis McCarthy did an outstanding job narrating this story. Her narration flows naturally at an even pace and she uses differing voices for all characters. Her deep undertones draw you into the story so that you don’t want to stop listening at the end of the day. Simply put, I’m really looking forward to listening to the next book in the Ghosts series.

Great Start To The Series!
As a long time fan of Jonathan Moellor's Frostborn series I was looking forward to more of his work. This his longest series is a great addition to anyone's library and a fantastic start to a series that has kept me hooked for some time now. There's a lot going on here with establishing a world, a backstory, training and the inevitable showdown with a seriously CREEPY villain yet the book never feels rushed. Equal praise to Hollis McCarthy for a selection of distinctive male and female voices even adding accents when the characters change language.
Hoping to hear the whole series in this format!

A well-written story from a very good author
Child of the Ghosts (Ghosts, #1), my first read from author Jonathan Moeller I'd wanted to read for a long time but never got around to. 13-hours 52-minutes, 368-pages/ but reads even longer due to the detail & development of the story “I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I look forward to reading more from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

This series is going to be great!
First things first, the author did such a wonderful job writing this! The pacing is excellent, the writing is smooth and expressive, and the story has amazing details without being too much. The narration was killer here too! Hollis did an amazing job with the voices of the characters, and gave such personality and perspective to the different people. I loved the main character, Caina Amalas, and how strong, yet relatable she was. I loved reading about a young woman who had such a sharp intelligence, and could stand up against any man. I am definitely looking forward to listening to the rest of the series!

A young girl finding her way in the hidden world
*I was given this free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This is a first for me with hearing Hollis McCarthy narrating. I know Caina is young in the books, but I'm Hollis's voice for her sounds off and too small for me. The audio is clean and clear to listen to.
I struggled with the first two flashbacks, to when Caina is 11 years old then when she was 7 years old. At eleven Caina doesn't understand why her mom hates her so. But in the flashback to when she was seven, her mother then her father tell her why. As a reader, I wonder if these sections have the wrong ages in them.
I'm divided on the beginning of the book. I understand the need for it, to create the character background of Caina and those that impacted her in her early years. But, part of me wants to say the background isn't as needed as it's detailed out instead of implying by just actions with her family. The nice thing is it's quick, and into the story we go.
This story is the beginning of Caina and her mission in life. This book sets up Caina with her training and how Maglarion grows in what he wants. Caina is a studious girl, loving her books and to learn. This book is Caina learning many things. Caina needs to grow and learn to do what she wants, which will come in time.
We see much of the way the world is on different sides as The Ghosts have friends and allies in all classes of the world. The Ghosts are the hidden police that are also assassins that work in the shadows of the world.
There was something about this book that felt simple, nothing hidden behind the words spoken. Yet I felt drawn to keep listening even if I didn't have to guess as to what will happen. It was more a relaxing read for me.
In finishing the book, the story is complete but Caina has a life to live and figures out what she wants to do. Caina will and, from looking at Goodreads, has many missions to go on in her life. I'm curious to follow her along in the books.
The book reads and feels like it's written for young adults, though there are things that are a little more than for younger readers. I would say for a teenager and older.

Great read for Fantasy Lover's
This story was so much fun to read the atmosphere was phenomenal. It's hard to find a good story that has a dark premise. Only downside was the main villian not being very good. Very one dimensional and is evil to be evil. This would have been much stronger if the villian was a bit better. Saying that for what this story is it was great! overall I recommend highly.

Child of the ghosts
I must say,I have been on a kind of 'I can't do one more magic book' lately but I totally enjoyed this!It was so well written and flowed wonderfully from beginning to end. Caina is a child of an evil and magical mother and a wonderful father.When her mother finally does the most heineous crime of all Canna is taken and held by a Necromancer.Once rescued she works to find and end his 400 year reign of terror. Hollis McCarthy was a wonderful narrator.Cainas voice as a child was perfect,not the squeaky insult to the ears one usually hears from a narrator.I look forward to book 2.

Great start to a series
Jonathan Moeller has once again given us a great listen. Child of Ghosts is an great story about a young girl who loses her family due a vicious betrayal by her mother. In this story, Caina, survives betrayal, tragedy, loss, torture, and hardship but does not let her circumstances define who and what she is and can become. Recruited to become a Ghost, she pursues her training and vendetta to bring her families murderer to justice. Hollis McCarthy provides outstanding narration giving each character a unique voice and personality. Looking forward to the next installment!

Story
For the first time as an Orbit special edition, Brent Weeks's blockbuster novella Perfect Shadow tells the origin story of the Night Angel trilogy's most enigmatic character: Durzo Blint. Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He's also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he's worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity, and all too often he's become a hero, his very names passing into legend.

Story
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

The power of Unbound lies in its variety of tales and the voices behind them. If you are a fan of discovering new writers or hearing the works of beloved authors, Unbound is for you.
