Alissa is steadily advancing in her magical studies with the last surviving Master at the legendary Hold. But she’s haunted by dreams - dreams revealing that other Masters have survived.

Alissa’s dreams lead her to a distant island where she and a rescue party discover countless Masters, alive and part of a flourishing magical society. But instead of being welcomed, Alissa finds that she herself may need to be rescued. The Masters’ leader, Keribdis, believes that she should be Alissa’s teacher, whether Alissa likes it or not. When Alissa rebels, she endangers not only her magic but also her life.

Critic Reviews

“Fun…sure to appeal to fans of Tamora Pierce or Robin McKinley…everything I need in a good read.” (Patricia Briggs, New York Times bestselling author)

.. and nothing but the truth

Having completed the series I have to say I am disappointed there are only four books. As stories go this one is one of the best. I don't know if it is Dawn (Kim's) writing but coupled with Marguerite Gavin's narration it makes me listen to the series often, it is just so enjoyable.
The story leaves me thinking I know the characters. I find them to have real depth and have developed a real fondness for them.
I would really love to see a sequel to the series. I find I have question at the end that stretch my imagination.
This is a good book with great narration. Listen to it! Please. I believe you will enjoy it.

super great series

maybe the last book in this series, maybe not, all four book were wonderful, the narrator was awesom, the story was rich in love, faith, trust and friendship.
This was a great series that I see my self re listening to over and over again...

Good ending,I want more

I really enjoyed this series. I was so hesitant to get into it because it's teen, but ultimately glad I did. I listened to all three in a row and was sad when it ended. I felt like I could continue enjoying stories in that world. I hope she revives it, even if it's with different characters.

Slow

I did not like over all story. I found the plot dull and slow. The characters were not engaging.

great series

Loved, loved, loved....I want more! I grew attached to all the characters. She needs to write more in this series!

Great little YA read.

A surprisingly sweet little fantasy, adventure, romance. I enjoyed the series. I would definitely read on, although it was wrapped up nicely. 👍 😃

great story!

It took me a minute to get into the narration but once I did I loved it!

Narrator was horrible.

I have this series in paperback and wanted it on my Audible. After listening to the first chapter, I just could not do her way of reading for all three books. Returned all three. THANK YOU Audible for giving me this option.

Narrator flaws otherwise excellent story

As usual, Dawn Cook has crafted a very good book, but the narrator spoiled it for me. She was great when telling the story in the third person and when taking the part of the female lead character, but she was unable to speak the key male character's part without ruining it. Apparently not having developed
the ability to mimic a convincing foreign accent, she resorted to a weird-sounding fake sing-song that was primarily distinguished by putting the emphasis on words that should not have been emphasized. This made it sound as if the narrator did not understand the meaning of the words she spoke and was quite irritating. If you can overlook that, you will probably enjoy this book.

a wonderful gift!

well worth the time, thanks for gift Audible. a grand adventure to journey on !

Gripping

I have binge read the who of this series and am sad it has ended. I loved the characters and how they went together. The story was really good and I had a few sleepless nights listening to the books. Very well written without a lot of love making descriptions to smother it. Will be reading from the start again just incase I missed some.

Fantastic

Once you start reading, you can’t put these books down down. The story just drags you in and keeps you wanting more.

A cracking series. Glad I trusted the reviews.

loved this book. can say there was anything I could fault.
Definitely 100% recommend

Epic fantasy

What an epic tale. Loved the series, sorry it had to end. The narration was great.
Second time I've listened and still cried. Would definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed these 3 books

after not expecting much from the front pictures, I have been greatly entertained by this series of books.
I suggest someone who has read the books illustrates any following publications.
The story rotates around one heroine who is not at all frilly or unable to cope with problems and all the men with whom she relates, there are other women but only as side actors.

Nice series

I've enjoyed this series but found Loadish(?), Strell & Alissa obnoxious and ignorant in this last book. The men were both overbearing and expectant in a way that would surely put most other women off too. Alissa was no better, stringing them both along and being as fickle a possible.
They all got much better in the last third of the book, I'm pleased to say.

The narration was consistently good throughout.

a beautiful world to get lost in

I highly recommend all 4 books in this series, it's like a holiday for your head.
