About this listen

An empire divided by magic. A nation on the brink of rebellion.

After losing their parents in the last doomed uprising, two siblings will find themselves at the center of an epic struggle for power.

When Ella witnesses an enchanter saving her brother's life, she knows what she wants to be. But the elite Academy expects tuition fees and knowledge. Meanwhile her brother, Miro, dreams of becoming one of the world's finest swordsmen, wielding his nation’s powerful enchanted weapons in defense of his homeland.

After Miro departs for war, the void he leaves in Ella's life is filled by a mysterious foreigner, Killian. But Killian has a secret, and Ella’s actions will determine the fate of her brother, her homeland, and the world.

Published in 2014, the highly acclaimed Evermen Saga is a worldwide bestseller.

A clever story that lulls you into your own assumptions only to surprise you at each turn. Well written and well narrated, would recommend to all fantasy lovers!

Only sad to wait for the next one now!

This is a light fantasy. Ella and Miro are brother and sister, orphaned at an early age. Ella dreams of becoming an enchantress and Miro an elite blade singer. So far so good.

Ella succeeds in enrolling in the school. Miro, already training as a soldier, is not having such a great time. He tries to hide his skill to try and minimize the bullying he is subjected to. When he does strike back at one of his bullies he is banished to serve for four months on an expedition to the Empire.

This book has possibilities However, the naivety of Ella does beggar belief at times, especially when she meets, by chance, a man while out walking, Killian. She then lays bare some of Altura's secrets without a thought about why he keeps questioning her about such things.

Whilst not overwhelmed by this first book, I am willing to give Book 2 a go. Who knows, it may improve.

Predictable

A well crafted plot filled with interesting well formed characters. All in a beautifully imagined setting. Add Simon Vance as the narrator, what's not to like ! Loved it.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away from this book

Great performance, poor story with average writing and lack of development in characters, logic and world creation. Not a bad start to the book but hurried and predictable. Vance covered this as best he could with his excellent reading/performance.

Vance is a wonderful reader/performer but...

I really liked the characters, I felt at points the writer felt more comfortable writing about the brother than the sister.

Really likes his love scene 😂 will be interesting if he treats the sisters love interest with such descriptive reverence. good book and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

a little fractured at the start but good ending
