The Legacy of the Key

Ancient Guardian Series, Book 1

De: S. L. Morgan

Narrado por: Natasha Soudek

What would you do if you were swept into an alternate dimension and faced with the truth: Life does exist outside of Earth?

When Reece is almost violently kidnapped, her entire life begins to change. She soon learns about the man who saved her life in the park and instantly is filled with questions about who he is and why he seems so familiar. The answers she receives from Levi are something that Reece would never have imagined possible. There is life beyond Earth, and it exists because of her!

As she struggles to cope with this theory, she is forced into a futuristic car where she meets another strangely familiar man who introduces himself as Harrison and informs her that he and Levi are from a dimension known as Pemdas. Traveling at what appears to be light speed, Harrison continues to inform Reece that he and Levi are her personal guardians who are sworn to protect her at any cost.

Impossible! Reece can't accept this and begins to question exactly who these men are and where they are taking her. Her answers come swiftly when the car they are in transports them into an entirely different environment. She is rendered speechless as she studies the vivid nature that surrounds them.

Transported into a magical land? The supernatural dimension of Pemdas appears to have traces of Earth in it, but is still worlds apart. It's filled with classic beauty and an electrifying atmosphere, and Reece is completely overwhelmed by what she sees. But her journey is only beginning....

Emperor Navarre Oxley explains to Reece that engraved in her mind by a powerful ancestor is the key to taking over multiple worlds...including Earth. Evil shape-shifting creatures known the Ciatron want to steal the map from Reece's mind and take over all of the dimensions and worlds in the universe. The Guardians must protect Reece in order to save Earth and all of the dimensions that exist due to Earth remaining unaltered.

As Reece finds herself increasingly attracted to Levi, Emperor Navarre's son and her personal guardian on Earth, she finally opens her mind to this new world and starts accepting the unique lifestyle of this enchanting world. With this, she discovers sweeping landscapes and capricious creatures who transfer their energy to the people of Pemdas. Most of all, she experiences peace in her life like nothing she has ever experienced.

Her newfound peace is instantly replaced with the shock of her life when she is placed in danger! Betrayed, the Guardians now must defeat their greatest enemy as all dimensions turn against them. They are forced to place Reece in grave danger in order to make peace with leaders of all dimensions.

Now that the Key's true identity is exposed, the Guardians find themselves in the greatest disadvantage that they have ever known. If the Guardians lose the power to protect Reece, the Key, every living being will fall victim to the greatest enemy Earth has ever known.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Trans-dimensional romance? This has to be one of the most detailed books that I have read that wasn’t dry or boring. I mean I could imagine being in the Reece’s bedroom and feeling the soft fabric of the couch. I could see Harrison’s eyes, and what beautiful eyes they were. Not only that but the plot is actually something that I had not read before. I mean you get paranormals and stuff, but this is completely different, realms inside of realms? The worlds and people that S.L. created really blew me away." ( Fangfrakingtastic Reviews)

The Legacy of the Key

Delightful introduction to different dimensions with beautiful descriptions and rich development of plot and characters. Constant mispronounciation of mischievous was irritating and a hiccup in the listening experience.

Please get a different narrator!!!!!

This story is good. I struggled to finish it due to the narrator. I listen to tons of books on Audible and this woman is hands down the worst. Took her longer to say words than if they were spelled out!!! I want to listen to the second book but I just can't. It was literally torture to listen to this books at times. This is a good SciFi book destroyed by the narrator.

A Very Good Read

I enjoyed listening to this book. It was very well written as well as very well narrated.

Really enjoyed the story.

I loved the story. The performance not so much. Sometimes she forgot which voice to use.

It just was to blah

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No it was to predictable and just drug on

What could S. L. Morgan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

It was a good idea but seamed to fall short

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

She sounds board with the story

The Narration Just Didn't Work For Me

This is a story that I really like. It's unique in a sort of Jane Austin meets fantasy kinda way. The world building is intriguing and you get a good feel for the different characters. And the romance is sweet, while the female lead grows into her strength. The narration, however, was aweful. With all due respect for all the effort that goes into these audio books, but the main male character's voice was cringe worthy. The narrator made him sound like a stuffy old man. NOT even close to what I would have imagined his voice to be more like. That, and the narration was really slow. If these could be redone, I would recommend a narration duo for female and male character voices. Adam Gold or Nick Cracknell would be great options for male voices. They both have a great range of accents and wonderful dramatic delivery when needed. I was so looking forward to owning and listening to this series in audio....it seriously burst my bubble.

Story is fantastic, narrator is terrible

Unfortunately, a really awful narrator ruined what was an interesting story. If I decide to finish this series, I think I'll read the actual books. This narrator is officially on my "never want to hear again" list. Her choices for character voices are gratingly unrealistic.

I enjoyed. it!

A very well written book with a decent narrator. I look forward to reading/listening to the next book.

Interesting plot

I enjoyed this book. A little too wordy but all in all interesting enough. Listened in audible. The narration was horrible. Probably would have seemed better if the narration was better.

GREAT BOOK

Couldnt put it down can't wait for next book. I need to know what's next and I know I won't be disappointed.
