About this listen

 The Rider Justin is sent to the small town of Neft, so he can spy on the nearby Lumanen Convent, where the Daughters of the Pale Mother reside. He quickly learns that Coralinda Gisseltess, the leader of the Daughters, is indeed persecuting mystics and the people who shelter them.

Even more quickly, he falls in love with Ellynor, one of the convent novices. But the courtship is perilous in the extreme. Not only does Coralinda hate the king and the king's Riders, but Ellynor is from the Lirrenlands, where women are not allowed to take lovers outside of the close-knit clans. If her brothers find out about Justin, they will insist upon a duel to the death...and if Coralinda finds out that Ellynor is a mystic, Ellynor's own life will be instantly at risk.

BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction by author Sharon Shinn.

Critic reviews

"Shinn....paints their journey with a lyrical grace and deep appreciation of camaraderie reminiscent of Diane Duane at her best." (Publishers Weekly)

Great book, let down by the narration.

This is probably my favourite book by Sharon Shinn. It's got action, romance, world and character building. However, what is going on with the narration?! Cammon's accent in particular is extremely grating to listen to : a sort of mock cockney which just sounds ridiculous, particularly to British listeners like me. Also, why is Donnell Irish when no one else in Danalustrus speaks with an Irish accent? Don't use regional British accents unless you are going to put some effort into getting them right. Otherwise your are going to alienate part of your audience who don't appreciate having the way they speak being (badly) imitated.
