The Daughter of the Veil

By: Brittany Johnston

Narrated by: Freya Victoria

A Power

In a land divided between Fae and humans, an ancient wickedness threatens to plunge the world into chaos. Only Erissa Nierling—one blessed with the powers of the Creator and able to see the souls fated to pass into the Veil—will tip the balance. But magic is outlawed in the city of Emberhold, and Erissa knows nothing of her birthright after a lifetime of being locked behind the spelled gates of her father’s keep. When she finally escapes and runs into the blacksmith, Rhazien, he helps her flee the city, triggering a prophecy that reignites a long-dead war between the gods.

A Secret

Now hunted by Fae and humans alike, Erissa and Rhazien must avoid those seeking to claim her magic. But the world is much larger than Erissa thought. A disembodied soul keeps appearing with warnings, and Rhazien is hiding something, testing the bond of their relationship.

A Choice

As an ancient wickedness closes in, the Keeper of the Veil will stop at nothing to claim her magic. With Rhazien’s life on the line, dark truths force Erissa to make a damning choice, for what comes next will redefine realms even if it costs her very soul and the freedom she has always desired.

A Power Struggle

This was my first experience with this author's work. The book started out really slow for me. It wasn't until after the middle point of the story, that the tale got much more interesting. I was amazed by all the different characters; however, there needed to be a clearer picture of where all the characters fit into the story, especially when the characters have unusual names, as at times, it was a little confusing as to whose point of view was being presented. I liked Erissa and Rhazien, and I enjoyed how their relationship developed. There were some spicy descriptive scenes. I thought Freya Victoria's narration was great, and her performance added to the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
