Publisher's summary

After The Great Divide left them isolated by monstrous water mountains.

After The Maker's Massacre left them in darkness—leaving them in a world divided between Blue and Black.

Buried deep down in their home-holes, the families of The Five have been waiting for a long time for the catalyst that will spark The Maker's Third Atrocity.

Time can yield countless possibilities.

Time finds a young Gracie No-Name sold to the Broken King Magnus Windbound. Her simple crime was being born to an unloving mother.

A generation earlier, time finds Summer. A girl with curly blue hair and gray-blue eyes born to a world of black hair and black eyes, named after the season of her abandonment.

Another generation later, Skye Wallace predictably found himself in his office, lost in time—investigating God's Cruelties. But Skye often finds himself reading about The Daughters of Light. Astonishing women, able to yield nature to their will, with just the snap of a finger.

Then stands the Gravedigger. A specter shrouded in black, burying this world one soul at a time, with every dig of its diamond shovel.

Great story

This was my first time listening to a story by C.J & I was not disappointed!
If you like dark fantasy, then this is 100% for you. I thought I’ve listened to dark before but nothing has compared to this.
Great adventure!

Pleasantly surprised!

Being that this is not my normal genre, I totally enjoyed this book. I especially loved the characters, Sky and his pet creature Kay, however I wish Kay wasn’t killed and I hope they can bring her back with some kind of weird power. And I just loved Gracie! This book and the author may have lured me over to the dark side!! Looking forward to Book 2!!

A unique listen

The only thing that could have made this dark storyline more intriguing was the dual narration, and both the male and female actors crushed this. If i closed my eyes i could picture actors on stage or on screen performing. A must read.

Incredible Debut

If I didn’t know already and you had told me this was his debut, I’d call you a liar! The story is incredible and you can tell that he put a lot of effort into it. The dual narration is PHENOMENAL! Some of the best narration I’ve ever heard.

An epic dark fantasy, captivating, and brilliant.

This book is a series of fragmented stories set in a dystopian world. An epic dark fantasy from the ingenious mind of the author that had me emotionally consumed from beginning to end.
This Audiobook is an experience and the narrators bring it to life with their amazing voices.
I highly recommend this book. It is not for the faint of heart or the Squeamish. It is not the type of Fantasy i am used to but is kick ass. can't wait to see how the story continues in book 2.

I won the Audiobook from a giveaway

Thank you to the Author C.J. Amato for the chance of listening to this story

Mashed together

I struggled through this book. I won the audio and paperback in a giveaway so I felt obligated to finish. There were cool concepts but by the end there was so much happening. The tone was all over the place. I felt all the characters were one dimensional.
