Publisher's summary

Filled with magic, adventure, and mythology pulled deep from Russian and Finish folklore, Cry of the Firebird is a dark fantasy that dives deep into the world of magic, pitting those who would abuse it against those sworn to protect it. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman.

A firebird is reborn on the borders of Russia, a gate to a world of monsters and magic is breaking, and only a reluctant, untrained shaman stands in the way of a flood of supernatural darkness....

Anya is still reeling from the death of her grandfather when a strange encounter with the Finnish God of the Dead changes her life forever: Her family has been guarding the gates to the Russian otherworld on their farm for centuries, and she’s the new gatekeeper. Worse, if she doesn’t awaken her magical abilities and assume her new role, the gate will break, unleashing a flood of monsters and dark gods into their world.

As Anya struggles to make sense of her changing world, she can’t deny the strange encounters. She’ll need to accept her fate and work with the legendary firebird if she hopes to survive - and protect humanity.

Ok series, horrible audio

I had to just read the books. I could not handle the audio. It’s hard to believe that it’s a person and not a computer speaking. The series isn’t amazing. It’s not a bad read, but there is much better out there.

I don’t know if the narrator thinks this is a movie preview or the evening news but I almost couldn’t take it anymore….sooo rough
The wonderful story and characters kept me there tho.

Horrible narrator

This was the worst narration I’ve ever listen to. Her voice and delivery was C-3PO and R2D2. I could not stand it and ended up not finishing the book. Would not purchase anything narrated by her again..
