On her way to a martial arts convention, Danielle Kane's plane crashes on an island in the Bermuda Triangle with cities trapped in time. She is furious to learn that on this island teetering on the brink of civil war, women are chattel. The 16th-century Spaniards want to lock her in a tower. The 14th- century pirates want to enslave her. The Inca Indians would worship her as a god. The World War II soldiers aren't sure what to make of her. None of them are ready for a modern woman.

Entertaining store, but could use better narration

The narrator is very skilled. Her accent also adds an element of authenticity to the Spanish-style backdrop of the novel. Unfortunately she seems to mispronounce several words, especially those related to the Martial Arts terms and Oriental words. Conversely, her portrayal of the emotional states of the various character, especially the sidekick can be immersive and redeeming.
The story has many opposites drawn together. There is Triumph and Tragedy, Hope and Despair, Violence and Comradery. The ending wraps things up, and yet still leaves things for the audience to wonder about.

I loved everything about this book, from the main character who just doesn't care about fitting into society's expectations, to Munchkin, the adorable dragon / Quetzalcoatl. The world this story takes place in is really fascinating, and when the book ended, I was a bit disappointed in knowing that there was nothing else to read/listen to from this universe.
Highly recommended for people who prefer female protagonists, adventures, war stories, or historical fiction (this world feels like it is a slightly alien version of the 1700s or 1800s.)
A fun, Lost style adventure, except its good

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Nadia Mori ) and I would listen to another. I disagree with summer viewers and do not feel that the narrator had to have an American English accent. I do think however, a word should be pronounced correctly based on context (even if there is a slight accent variation). There were often mispronounced words in this book.
I think her character voices were well done and I enjoyed her style.
The quality of the audio was good.
There are no explicit sex scenes, there is violence but I don’t recall any gory descriptions. I don’t recall any swearing.

I call shenanigans on the reviewers who gave a perfect 5 stars for narration. The main character of the story is an American female (from Michigan, as I recall). Other reviewers have observed, as I did, that sometimes the most basic words were mispronounced. Live and live, for example. In order to pronounce it correctly, you need to know the context ("I ate a live goldfish" versus "live each day is if it's your last"). This is not the kind of pronunciation mistake that an American female would make. It if happened once, okay, no big deal. But it happened again and again and again (and again). Just, no. Either the narrator should be better at this, or the narrator should not be narrating English-language audiobooks, or there should be more oversight and review because it should have been easy to detect and fix these kinds of mistakes. No excuses, this is a professionally produced audiobook.
Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but many of my female students (I'm an educator) are notorious for uptalking at the end of their sentences during class presentations - every sentence sounds like a question. This narrator skewed in the opposite direction and flattened the ends of her sentences, making them sound almost robotic or mechanical. I don't know the narrator's linguistic background, but this isn't an authentic tonal pattern to sound like an American-raised woman. Spanish? Japanese? I really don't know, but it disrupted the authenticity of the narration. It made me wish that the author had just created the heroine to be a recent immigrant to America instead of a character that grew up in Michigan. I think that for some listeners, the narration was just fine. But for listeners like me, who enjoy a complete audiobook experience where the story and the narrator create synergy together, and who deeply appreciate good, authentic narration? You will be the ones who likely give lower than 5 stars for this audiobook narration. The thing is, I'm almost positive that this narrator would do a great job with a different kind of story - a story with an English-speaking heroine whose first language is not English. On that other type of project, I could definitely imagine myself giving her a much higher rating.
