This program includes a bonus interview with the author.

From New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi comes an audiobook set in Paris during a time of extraordinary change--one that is full of mystery, decadence, and dangerous desires...

It's 1889. The city is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. Here, no one keeps tabs on dark truths better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. When the elite, ever-powerful Order of Babel coerces him to help them on a mission, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance.

To hunt down the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian banished from his home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in arms if not blood.

Together, they will join Séverin as he explores the dark, glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the course of history--but only if they can stay alive.

Please tell me there'll be a book 2!

4.5 stars

The way this ended . . . I'm hurt! And if there is not a book 2 I'll be doubly hurt. This story was awesome! The action, the drama, the passion and the love. And the fact there is a female engineer!! Yaaaaassssss!

I'll just sit here and wait on book 2 . . .

Listen to the Sample!

I didn't listen to the sample before buying, and regret it. The male narrator has a lovely voice for dialogue, but his narrative voice is firm and mechanical. I couldn’t do it and DNF. (Overall and Story set at 3 as a rating is required)

Brilliant, diverse historical fantasy

I've listened to this book 3 times and it's truly amazing! I love how we explore into magical lore, heists and great characters. Plus I think the narrators do a great job at the various accents.

I'm in the minority coz I liked the narration

I've read the other reviews and I know plenty of people who struggled with the narration but I personally thought they were okay. Not the best but okay. The only area where I struggled is that it's hard to differentiate the voices for the two female protagonist. Zofia is Russian and Laila is of Indian descent but the female narrator didn't really try to differentiate their voices or accents and it made it confusing.

Good story bad male narrator

The male narrator was so robotic I couldn’t finish. The woman is great but the narrators are not complimentary.
