Publisher's summary

Alissa is the only student living in the Hold, learning a millennium’s worth of magic from the last surviving Master. Even shape-shifting to her dragon-like raku form is becoming second nature. But when a spell goes awry, Alissa is transported back four centuries to an era when the Hold and its city thrive with magic students and their tutors.

Separated from the man she loves by 400 years, Alissa’s distress and confusion are causing her to lose control of her shape-shifting. If she can’t return to her own time, Alissa will be permanently transformed into her bestial form with no memory of her human life—or her love.

This is the third book in the Truth Series by Dawn Cook, who also writes under the pen name Kim Harrison.

Critic reviews

“Cook’s solid third novel about Alissa stands very well alone, showing as it does how many characters who exist in both times have grown and changed—or haven't.” ( Booklist)

Great series

This is a fun and exciting series. Sweet and funny and will make you cry. I really enjoyed it and was very sad it ended. I think this book series needs to go way past 4 books!! The ending is very emotional in my opinion. I cried This book could definitely be read to your children The adult content is so well done it would go over their heads and make u laugh. All adult content is just hinted at and implied

Narrator was so much better!

In the first couple of books, the narrator seems to be trying to project her voice in such a way that it distracts from the content. She relaxes significantly in this book and the words flow comfortably.

My favorite Audible book series

Would you consider the audio edition of Forgotten Truth to be better than the print version?

I have listen to this series at least five times (I have not kept track) and I am listening again. I simply love how Marguerite Gavin reads this story. She give a unique voice to each characters and her male voices are believable. The story itself is great and I highly recommend it.

great story

I love this series, I had a wonderful time following each character on their journey. The story has gotten better each time, and the narrator, Marguerite Gavin, did an absolutely amazing job expressing the passion, love, and heartache of the characters. the story and the telling make me want to hear more.

wonderful continuation

what a wonderful continuation of the story! this could also be read as a standalone, but it would make much more sense if the first book had been read. The characters continue to grow and evolve with a wonderful explanation of genetics which as a biologist I found amazing!

Alyssa's Adventure in Time

Loved this book! Great new characters and many more details relating to the history of the Hold. These additions bring a lot to the story line. Great Book!

Whimsical and very well written!!

Shocked these were included in my membership! Love all Kim Harrison’s novels. One of my all time favorite authors! Her characters, (which often have the most clever names) have depth and her storylines always have a fresh twist on traditional fantasy. I fall deep into her books. I blazed through this series in a few days. Shout out to the narrator, Margarite Gavin, for a great job! Highly recommend!

Love at 1st book


I am going to write this once. It is for the whole series. Not just this one book. Loved every second of it. The characters will all remain with me, I feel like we all have become friends. They felt so real and I was sad when the credits started, knowing it was the end of a beautiful story.
