Acerca de esta escucha

Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .

Time is running out in the empire of Rheinvelt.

The sudden appearance of a strange and frightening statue foretells darkness. The Hierophants—magic users of the highest order—have fled the land. And the shadowy beasts of the nearby Hinterlands are gathering near the borders, preparing for an attack.

Young Prince Alphonsus is sent by his mother, the Empress Sabine, to reassure the people while she works to quell the threat of war. But Alphonsus has other problems on his mind, including a great secret: He has a clock in his chest where his heart should be—and it’s begun to run backwards, counting down to his unknown fate.

Searching for answers about the clock, Alphonsus meets Esme, a Hierophant girl who has returned to the empire in search of a sorceress known as the Nachtfrau. When riddles from their shared past threaten the future of the empire, Alphonsus and Esme must learn to trust each other and work together to save it—or see the destruction of everything they both love.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Kirby Heyborne delivers an enthralling performance of a battle for power in this fantasy . . . Heyborne opens slowly and calmly. His deft voicings and intense emotions build to the dramatic climax."—AudioFile Magazine

"Farrey conjures a world bristling with spells and secrets. Readers will revel in this gripping, fable-like adventure."Stefan Bachmann, author of Cinders & Sparrows

"Filled with friendship and magic, mysteries and betrayal, and a race against a ticking clock, this is top-notch fantasy with a heart. I loved it!"Adam Perry, author of The Thieving Collectors of Fine Children's Books

I guess no one would buy "The Widdershins Heart"

This story has an intriguing premise, but I wondered what was more alarming, that clocks appear in place of hearts or that the protagonist's clock runs widdershins. As for style, I prefer to discover the world as the characters interact, rather than by an opening sustained chunk of historical monolog by the narrator. As for story, this one is best appreciated if you have absolutely no idea how courts and empresses and queens and generals and warriors and societies have ever functioned (regenderized or not). You just have to accept that a peasant boy can turn everyone against the prince and force the empress to marry him. The resolution, which wraps up quickly, may stimulate some slow rumination.
