Captured. Sold. Enslaved. Displayed.
Keio's dream of seeing the Golden City turns into a nightmare. He and his friend, Clara, get swept up by Fire Fairies along with the other youths in their village. They're quickly sold to the local lord.
The man seeks something very special that only certain young people possess, and he's willing to threaten anyone to get it. But his daughter has other plans.
Like it or not, Keio and Clara land in the middle of a brewing war. They're going to have to pick a side soon, and if they choose wrong, their lives aren't the only ones forfeit.

A couple are kept, but the rest sent off to be sold as slaves.
What happens next is a thing of prophecy, which the writer has done a fabulous job of building suspense and drama, to give the reader (or listener) the best experience possible. I will not that experience away, by giving too much of a great story away.
The narrator also does a fantastic job, adding a further dimension to the overall experience.
Brilliant short story, of escape from captivity

A quick listen, this story is a fun mix of various familiar elements with a bit of a new spin on them. I really wish it had more time to build up and expand, as it is it was over so quickly there's little to say. There were a lot of potentially interesting characters crammed in there, and a deeper story that could've been told, but as it is it rather feels like a prologue to another story which was expanded into a novella, or the outline of a full novel crammed down to fit.
I enjoyed what there was, but it left me unsatisfied and uncertain of the author's intent. Is it intended as a standalone? If so, it is definitely lacking. A teaser for a longer series? I'd expect more focus on making us care about the characters involved, in that case. So what was the point of it? I really have no idea.
But if you're looking for a quick fluff of an adventure, with fairies and shapeshifters, dragons and evil rulers, this might be what you're after.

The twists the book takes can and likely will surprise you.
I enjoyed this book, as I have enjoyed many of different kinds of fantasy type stories. The Fairies in this book took on a different kind of view than others have which was quite interesting to see.

"Hey, want to listen to an audiobook with me? It's fantasy."
"Sure."
We were enjoying the story but we were called in by my sister for dinner.
"We can finish it later," I suggested.
"No, just a little more," he pleaded.
The beauty of audiobooks is that you can share them in real-time. I would never have known my son liked fantasy had we not listened to this story together.
I liked that it was short so we could have an idea of the characters and continue when the author continues the series (we hope!).
Enjoy it together with someone else, see what happens. :-)
My 13-year-old son wanted it to keep going!

As to the story, I am not one to give a lot of specific story details since I feel you should read the story for that. This is a short story with a happy ending. It has good character development and a ending that will surprise most. You won't be disappointed if you decide to give it a try!
