Publisher's summary

Petra Freyrsdótter can raise an entire village from the dead with her magic - so why can’t she bring her lover back to life? Petra has spent the last two years trying to resurrect Orrus, the man she loves. And even though she’s a powerful necromancer, nothing works, and Orrus is perpetually stuck as a listless shade at her side while she searches all of Aelamor for a way to restore him. But when Petra gets caught by a priest for the God of Truth and Light - an order that burns necromancers at the stake - instead of killing her, he presents her with a strange gambit: If she can retrieve a blade that was stolen from his order, the priest will not only let her live, but will also reveal what he knows about how she can fully resurrect Orrus.

Although making a deal with a burned brother isn’t a good idea, Petra is desperate and out of options. Apart from saving her own life, she must do what she can to fulfill her promise to Orrus so they can be reunited in the world of the living.

When Petra finally tracks down Caspar, the thief who stole the blade, she can’t help but feel attracted to and intrigued by the handsome stranger whose hatred for the order is as strong as her own. Everything falls apart, however, when Petra and her companions are captured by the mad priests who serve the God of Truth and Light and they discover the secret of the blade and the vile ritual the order intends to use it for.

Now, Petra and Caspar must work together to keep the blade out of the priests’ clutches and bring the entire order to its knees before it’s too late. And she must be willing to risk everything - including her chance to be with Orrus again - if she wants to make sure the horrible future the order has planned can never come to light.

Magnificent story!

I have to say first thing first this story is beyond Fantastic!! It definitely well written and narrated. This story is a hell of a great ride. The storyline involves gods, necromancer, blood witches, demons and fanatics. A great fantasy with a lot of drama. The books ended leaves room for another book( God I hope so!!!)
The narrator does an unbelievable job with the story and the characters. He does an amazing job with the characters and the voices of each character making it easy to distinguish between the characters. I definitely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I highly recommend this audiobook book.

I love everything about this story!💜

What a wonderfully magical fantasy story.
This was well written with so many great characters. There’s mystery, love, magic and definitely plenty of family drama. I was engaged the entire time, and for me, this was a page turner. The main characters formed an unlikely alliance and were so much fun.
There were moments of lust, disgust & despair, all of which were performed brilliantly by Jonathan Waters. It’s more than just reading the words when he narrates. It’s like watching a movie in my head. I can hear every character and see them as the author has written them.
This book is a standalone and has an HEA, however, I think there’s just enough left to the imagination that we could go for a book 2. Fingers crossed.
I highly recommend this book.

Interesting

If you like blood witches, ghosts, dead people and more, this one is for you.
Jonathan Waters is a talented narrator. He can do all of the characters and bring them alive.
