About this listen
The magical island of Kalaya is dying, along with its Sentinel.
The Assembly controls Kalaya. Originally set up to govern, they now persecute those with magic and exile them to the Turrak Mountains.
Tei, a tailor’s daughter, has always hidden her magic, but when her father’s old friend visits and warns them to flee to the mountains, she must leave her old life behind.
On the journey, an attack leaves her father mortally wounded. He entrusts her into the care of the exiles and on his deathbed makes a shocking confession.
Struggling with self-doubt, Tei joins the exiles search for their new Sentinel who is the only person capable of restoring the fading magic. But mysterious Masked Riders are hunting the Sentinel too, and time, as well as hope, is running out.
Against mounting odds it will take friendship, heartache, and sacrifice for the exiles to succeed, but is Tei willing to risk everything to save the island magic?
If you like character-based fantasy, then you’ll love The Lost Sentinel - book one in the Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy.

An enjoyable book
Forced to hide her magical powers from the ruling Assembly of Kalaya, Tei and her father are warned that they must flee to stay safe. Embarking on a journey to seek out other exiles, Tei’s father is mortally wounded. Leaving her in the care of the exiles, the young woman discovers that her new companions have high expectations of her. Agreeing to help the search for the new Sentinel, Tei is thrust into a world of masked riders, magic and adventure.
While I will say the audiobook is superbly narrated by George Ellington, I did wonder why the author (presumably) chose to include sound effects – they detract from the skill of the narrator and, for me at least, added nothing to the story. That aside, the story is well told, and the characters are an interesting lot, with vivid descriptions of the people and scenery. The usual issue I have with fantasy tales is the author’s tendency to stick to a fairly standard format – young person with magical powers finds him/herself thrown into a situation which they alone can resolve. The Lost Sentinel doesn’t break any new ground here and while Ms Rogerson is a very competent author, it would’ve been nice to see something different. Perhaps because fantasy isn’t one of my favourite genres, I expected too much, but having read a variety of imaginatively written fantasy stories (most recently by Jean Lee), it’s clearly not impossible to break the mould.
All whinges aside, this was an enjoyable book that held my attention fairly well, albeit mainly due to the narrator’s skill in interpreting the authors work.

Worth a read
Set in a land where those with magic are ostracised and exiled the hunt for a the new sentinal begins. You are taken on a journey with the protagonist Tei and the many characters where friendships are made and lost with tragic ends in a bid to find the Sentinel and restore the lands fading magic. The end sets nicely for the next installment of the trilogy and told by narrator George Ellington who I found I could easily listen to for hours.
